Index creation error - missing spec parameter

Fix the Pinecone create_index TypeError for a missing spec parameter by passing the spec argument that sets the index's deployment model, cloud, and region.

Problem

Using the new API, creating an index requires passing appropriate values into the spec parameter. Without this spec parameter, the create_index method raises the following error:

console

TypeError: Pinecone.create_index() missing 1 required positional argument: 'spec'

Solution

Set the spec parameter. For guidance on how to set this parameter, see Create an index.
