Make Python SDK examples copy-pasteable for installed SDK before 1.0

What variant of Codex are you using?
SDK
What feature would you like to see?
Right now the examples shows checkout-only import bootstrapping, including local sys.path mutation, _bootstrap imports, and runtime_config() helpers. That makes the examples runnable from the repository, but it also makes them look unlike normal application code someone would paste into a project after installing openai-codex.
I feel like the examples should show how to use the public installed SDK surface:
from openai_codex import ...from openai_codex.types import ...Codex()/AsyncCodex()- no per-example checkout bootstrap helpers
I put together a focused fork PR as a concrete prototype:
https://github.com/maksimzayats/codex/pull/1
Would the Codex team be open to inviting a focused upstream PR in this direction if the approach matches your intended Python SDK direction?
Best,
Maksim
