pip install tencentcloud-sdk-python-vpc

Common errors

error ImportError: cannot import name 'VpcClient' from 'tencentcloud.vpc' ↓

cause Missing API version in import path.

fix

Use: from tencentcloud.vpc.v20170312 import vpc_client

error tencentcloud.common.exception.TencentCloudSDKException: [InvalidParameter] The request is not completed as the action is not a valid API action, version: 2017-03-12, action: DescribeVpcs ↓

cause Incorrect API version or action name; often due to wrong import path.

fix

Ensure using correct version subpackage: tencentcloud.vpc.v20170312

error AttributeError: module 'tencentcloud.vpc.v20170312' has no attribute 'models' ↓

cause Missing 'models' import; need to import explicitly.

fix

Add: from tencentcloud.vpc.v20170312 import models

Warnings

breaking Migrating from SDK version <3.0 requires import path change: 'tencentcloud.vpc.v20170312' instead of 'tencentcloud.vpc' ↓

fix Update all imports to include API version in path.

breaking Model class names changed; e.g., 'DescribeVpcsRequest' instead of 'DescribeVpcsReq' ↓

fix Check API docs for current model names; use 'models.<Action>Request'.

gotcha VpcClient is not thread-safe; do not share across threads without locking. ↓

fix Create a new client per thread or use threading.Lock.

gotcha Region parameter must be set during client initialization, not per request. ↓

fix Pass region to VpcClient constructor; cannot change region per call.

deprecated Use of 'credential.DefaultCredentialProvider' deprecated in favor of explicit 'credential.Credential' ↓

fix Replace with: 'cred = credential.Credential(secret_id, secret_key)'

Install

pip install tencentcloud-sdk-python-vpc==3.1.82

import os
from tencentcloud.common import credential
from tencentcloud.vpc.v20170312 import vpc_client, models

try:
    cred = credential.Credential(
        secret_id=os.environ.get('TENCENTCLOUD_SECRET_ID', ''),
        secret_key=os.environ.get('TENCENTCLOUD_SECRET_KEY', '')
    )
    client = vpc_client.VpcClient(cred, "ap-guangzhou")
    req = models.DescribeVpcsRequest()
    resp = client.DescribeVpcs(req)
    print(resp)
except Exception as e:
    print(f"Error: {e}")
