## Summary - Remove the exact-version install snippet from the PyPI-facing Python SDK README. - Remove the release-selection explanation so the install section presents the standard `pip install openai-codex` path directly. ## Validation - Not run locally; relying on online CI for this documentation-only change.
OpenAI Codex Python SDK (Beta)
Build Python applications that start Codex threads, run turns, stream progress, and control workspace access.
Note
openai-codexis in beta. Public APIs may change before1.0.
Install
Install the SDK:
pip install openai-codex
Quickstart
The SDK reuses your existing Codex authentication when one is already available:
from openai_codex import Codex
with Codex() as codex:
thread = codex.thread_start()
result = thread.run("Explain this repository in three bullets.")
print(result.final_response)
thread.run(...) returns a TurnResult containing the final response,
collected items, and token usage.
Authentication
Existing Codex authentication is reused automatically. To start ChatGPT browser login explicitly:
from openai_codex import Codex
with Codex() as codex:
login = codex.login_chatgpt()
print(login.auth_url)
print(login.wait().success)
For device-code login:
with Codex() as codex:
login = codex.login_chatgpt_device_code()
print(login.verification_url, login.user_code)
login.wait()
For API-key login:
with Codex() as codex:
codex.login_api_key("sk-...")
