Description
This PR improves the error messages when users attempt to use LLM clients (OpenAI, Anthropic) without installing the necessary optional dependencies. Instead of a generic
ImportErrororModuleNotFoundError, it now provides a helpful message instructing the user to install the specific extra (e.g.,pip install autogen-ext[openai]).Changes
autogen_ext/models/openai/_openai_client.pywithtry-except ImportError.autogen_ext/models/anthropic/_anthropic_client.pywithtry-except ImportError.Verification
try-exceptblocks correctly wrap the optional imports and raise the newImportErrorwith the custom message.
