Circular import when using GoogleSearchAPI wrapper

[hjenryin]

Checked other resources

• I added a very descriptive title to this issue.
• I searched the LangChain documentation with the integrated search.
• I used the GitHub search to find a similar question and didn't find it.
• I am sure that this is a bug in LangChain rather than my code.
• The bug is not resolved by updating to the latest stable version of LangChain (or the specific integration package).

Example Code

from langchain_google_community import GoogleSearchAPIWrapper

I tried and it worked for me. Can you make sure you have upgraded to latest versions.

[hjenryin]

That's strange. Could you post your system requirements as well? (By running python -m langchain_core.sys_info) Thanks!
