I encountered a similar issue solved by:
pip install --upgrade langchain

Hopefully this works for you as well!

Also confirm that you're running the right version of Python.

py --version

Also make sure that you are using the correct Python version: > > py --version.

Which of the Python versions is required? I use Python 3.8 but there will be this error, TKS

Of course, it won't be helpful much later, but I found a solution. It seems to be a version issue. Currently, instead of importing from langchain.text_splitter, you should import from langchain_text_splitters.

You can install it via:
pip install -qU langchain-text-splitters

And then modify your import statement to:
from langchain_text_splitters import RecursiveCharacterTextSplitter

Try this and see if it resolves the issue.
