Ahmed Ibrahim b4d42052cd Publish Python packages after stable CLI releases (#44067)
## What changed

Add a downstream workflow that builds the Python SDK and runtime from the stable CLI release commit, using the CLI version for both packages and the SDK's exact runtime dependency. Publish and verify the runtime on PyPI before publishing the SDK.

Require a successful CLI `release` job, an unchanged release tag, and complete runtime assets. Skip CLI prereleases and allow publication despite unrelated publisher failures. Support retries by CLI workflow run ID and accept existing PyPI uploads while verifying the complete release.

Document release setup, retry procedures, and independent SDK releases.

## Testing

Add resolver unit tests covering tag resolution, prerelease skipping, partial reruns, pagination, invalid runs, moved tags, missing assets, and equivalent automatic and manual release resolution.

OpenAI Codex Python SDK

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-...")

Built-In Help

Use Python's standard help(openai_codex), help(Codex), or python -m pydoc openai_codex documentation tools.
