Solution to "ImportError: cannot import name 'GrowthBookClient' from 'growthbook'"

If you're using version 1.2.1 of the GrowthBook Python library, you may have seen in the documentation on GitHub or PyPI that the GrowthBookClient should be imported like this:

from growthbook import GrowthBookClient

 However, this results in the following error:

api/feature_flag_service.py", line 1, in <module>

    from growthbook import GrowthBookClient, Options, UserContext

ImportError: cannot import name 'GrowthBookClient' from 'growthbook'

The fix is simple: instead of following the documentation, use the correct import path based on the actual library structure:

from growthbook.growthbook_client import GrowthBookClient
