This can be reproduced with the following:

uv venv
uv pip install litellm[proxy] prisma
uv run prisma generate

[Sly777]

is there any update?

[jamesmyatt]

Any comment on this? It makes the PyPI package for the proxy practically unusable. @ishaan-berri , @krrish-berri-2

[powellnorma]

I was able to fix it via prisma generate --schema /path/to/venv/lib/python3.13/site-packages/litellm/proxy/schema.prisma
