This post is 1 month old which is basically 1 year in langchain years. Alot has changed. Try updating to the latest version

>= to this 

langchain==0.0.134


from langchain.agents import load_tools
tool_names = [...]
llm = ...
tools = load_tools(tool_names, llm=llm)

I had a similar issue installing langchain with all integrations via pip install langchain[all].

This installed some older langchain version and I could not even import the module langchain.agents.load_tools since it did not exist.

I just fixed it with a langchain upgrade to the latest version using pip install langchain --upgrade.

After that, I was able to import it with from langchain.agents import load_tools as expected.
