## Summary - build, strip, sign, and publish `codex-code-mode-host` with the primary Codex release binaries on Linux, macOS, and Windows - place the host beside `codex[.exe]` in canonical package archives, macOS DMGs, and the legacy Linux bundle so the runtime's sibling lookup succeeds - preserve and validate the host through standalone installers and Python runtime wheel staging - add package-builder coverage for source selection and the resulting package layout ## Why The process-owned code-mode client launches `codex-code-mode-host` as a sibling of the running Codex executable. Release artifacts currently build and bundle `codex` without that host, so code mode cannot start from installed packages.
OpenAI Codex Python SDK (Beta)
Build Python applications that start Codex threads, run turns, stream progress, and control workspace access.
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-...")
