Ahmed Ibrahim ddea03ad04 Start Python SDK turn subscriptions at their attachment point (#44400)
## What changed

Make turn event delivery depend on when each consumer attaches:

- Handles returned by `thread.turn(...)` receive events from when the request is sent, including events received before the response arrives.
- Other handles and explicit low-level registrations receive only events from when they join. Remove replay of completed items, token usage, and terminal events; use `thread.read(include_turns=True)` for earlier history.
- Retain unread events for active subscribers and pending starts, release unused turn state, and close the returned subscription when an async start is cancelled.

Preserve the existing low-level subscription when repeated `turn_start(...)` calls return the same turn.

## Testing

Update coverage for late joins, request-time buffering, completion or transport failure before a start returns, async cancellation cleanup, and repeated low-level starts. Adjust external-message integration tests to allow handles to collect different items while receiving the same final response.

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.
