## Why The initial public `openai-codex` beta should read and install like a normal published Python package before a release tag is created. This follows merged PR #24828, which establishes the independent SDK beta release plumbing and exact runtime dependency. ## What changed - Rewrote `sdk/python/README.md` as a compact PyPI-facing beta package page: published installation, one quickstart, short login examples, built-in help, and links to deeper guides. - Updated the getting-started guide, API reference, FAQ, and examples index to present the published beta consistently without repeating onboarding in the package landing page or reference page. - Made `pip install openai-codex` the primary install path while beta releases are the only published SDK releases, with `--pre` documented for opting into prereleases after a stable release exists. - Added curated `help()` / `pydoc` docstrings across the public API and generated public convenience methods through `scripts/update_sdk_artifacts.py`. - Declared the repository `Apache-2.0` license expression and Documentation URL in package metadata, without introducing a duplicated SDK-local license file. - Kept the source distribution focused on installable package material (`src/openai_codex`, `README.md`, and `pyproject.toml`); the repository docs and runnable examples remain linked from the PyPI README. - Built release artifacts in an Alpine container on the Ubuntu runner, matching Python SDK CI and allowing type generation to install the published `musllinux` runtime wheel. - Added `twine check --strict` to the release workflow so malformed PyPI metadata or rendered README content fails before publishing. - Added focused SDK assertions for beta metadata, the exact runtime pin, source distribution contents, and the built-in Python documentation surface. ## Validation - Ran `uv run --frozen --extra dev ruff check scripts/update_sdk_artifacts.py src/openai_codex tests/test_public_api_signatures.py tests/test_artifact_workflow_and_binaries.py` before the final README-only reductions and review-fix follow-ups. - Built `openai_codex-0.1.0b1-py3-none-any.whl` and `openai_codex-0.1.0b1.tar.gz` before the final README-only reductions and review-fix follow-ups. - Ran `python -m twine check --strict` on both built artifacts before the final README-only reductions and review-fix follow-ups. - Verified artifact metadata reports `Apache-2.0` without a duplicated SDK-local license file. - Verified `inspect.getdoc(...)` resolves documentation for the package, `Codex`, `CodexConfig`, and key generated thread methods. - Rebased the documentation/readiness change onto merged PR #24828 without changing the intended SDK or workflow file contents. - Final verification is delegated to online CI for this PR.
Python SDK Examples
Each example folder contains runnable versions:
sync.py(public sync surface:Codex)async.py(public async surface:AsyncCodex)
All examples intentionally use only public SDK exports from openai_codex
and openai_codex.types.
Examples use plain strings for text-only turns and typed input objects for multimodal or structured input lists.
Prerequisites
- Python
>=3.10 - Install the SDK for the same Python interpreter you will use to run examples
Install the published beta:
python -m pip install openai-codex
The SDK installs its pinned openai-codex-cli-bin runtime dependency.
The pinned runtime version comes from the SDK package dependency.
Run From A Checkout
Contributors using these checked-in scripts should install development
dependencies from sdk/python:
uv sync --extra dev
source .venv/bin/activate
The examples bootstrap local SDK imports from sdk/python/src. If the pinned
runtime is not already installed, the bootstrap installs the matching runtime
package for the active interpreter and cleans up temporary files afterward.
Run examples
From sdk/python:
python examples/<example-folder>/sync.py
python examples/<example-folder>/async.py
The checked-in examples use the local SDK source tree automatically.
