experimental[patch]: Add experimental.agent imports (#13839)
- **Description:** The experimental package needs to be compatible with
the usage of importing agents

For example, if i use `from langchain.agents import
create_pandas_dataframe_agent`, running the program will prompt the
following information:

```
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/Users/dongwm/test/main.py", line 1, in <module>
     from langchain.agents import create_pandas_dataframe_agent
   File "/Users/dongwm/test/venv/lib/python3.11/site-packages/langchain/agents/__init__.py", line 87, in __getattr__
     raise ImportError(
ImportError: create_pandas_dataframe_agent has been moved to langchain experimental. See https://github.com/langchain-ai/langchain/discussions/11680 for more information.
Please update your import statement from: `langchain.agents.create_pandas_dataframe_agent` to `langchain_experimental.agents.create_pandas_dataframe_agent`.
```

But when I changed to `from langchain_experimental.agents import
create_pandas_dataframe_agent`, it was actually wrong:

```python
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/dongwm/test/main.py", line 2, in <module>
    from langchain_experimental.agents import create_pandas_dataframe_agent
ImportError: cannot import name 'create_pandas_dataframe_agent' from 'langchain_experimental.agents' (/Users/dongwm/test/venv/lib/python3.11/site-packages/langchain_experimental/agents/__init__.py)
```

I should use `from langchain_experimental.agents.agent_toolkits import
create_pandas_dataframe_agent`. In order to solve the problem and make
it compatible, I added additional import code to the
langchain_experimental package. Now it can be like this Used `from
langchain_experimental.agents import create_pandas_dataframe_agent`

Quick Install

With pip:

pip install langchain

With conda:

pip install langsmith && conda install langchain -c conda-forge

🤔 What is LangChain?

LangChain is a framework for developing applications powered by language models. It enables applications that:

  • Are context-aware: connect a language model to sources of context (prompt instructions, few shot examples, content to ground its response in, etc.)
  • Reason: rely on a language model to reason (about how to answer based on provided context, what actions to take, etc.)

This framework consists of several parts.

  • LangChain Libraries: The Python and JavaScript libraries. Contains interfaces and integrations for a myriad of components, a basic run time for combining these components into chains and agents, and off-the-shelf implementations of chains and agents.
  • LangChain Templates: A collection of easily deployable reference architectures for a wide variety of tasks.
  • LangServe: A library for deploying LangChain chains as a REST API.
  • LangSmith: A developer platform that lets you debug, test, evaluate, and monitor chains built on any LLM framework and seamlessly integrates with LangChain.

This repo contains the langchain (here), langchain-experimental (here), and langchain-cli (here) Python packages, as well as LangChain Templates.

🚀 How does LangChain help?

The main value props of the LangChain libraries are:

  1. Components: composable tools and integrations for working with language models. Components are modular and easy-to-use, whether you are using the rest of the LangChain framework or not
  2. Off-the-shelf chains: built-in assemblages of components for accomplishing higher-level tasks

Off-the-shelf chains make it easy to get started. Components make it easy to customize existing chains and build new ones.

Components fall into the following modules:

📃 Model I/O:

This includes prompt management, prompt optimization, a generic interface for all LLMs, and common utilities for working with LLMs.

📚 Retrieval:

Data Augmented Generation involves specific types of chains that first interact with an external data source to fetch data for use in the generation step. Examples include summarization of long pieces of text and question/answering over specific data sources.

🤖 Agents:

Agents involve an LLM making decisions about which Actions to take, taking that Action, seeing an Observation, and repeating that until done. LangChain provides a standard interface for agents, a selection of agents to choose from, and examples of end-to-end agents.
