Proposal: Add Python SDK for Codex

hi boss, python sdk is very necessary！

• how can we get a python SDK merged?
• can the community contribute to build the python SDK, or is this something you guys would want to do in-house?
• if the community can contribute, how can we make it easy to review/merge?

would be very helpful for an official response here. i desperately want to build on top of codex. maintaining a fork for rn and have a PR up.

(sorry for @ spam, but it's a really important need for a lot of people)

Hi everyone

In response to the interest here, I already have a substantial portion of the Python SDK implemented and functioning. It includes:

• A full Python API covering all Codex functionality
• Cross-platform support (Windows, macOS, Linux)
• Streaming, structured output, and thread management
• Comprehensive examples and documentation

I’d be happy to open a PR if there’s interest in reviewing and merging

That's great. I also have such a plan recently.

I also developed a personal Codex Python SDK (similar to Mr. masterFoad's), but ideally an official Python SDK supported by OpenAI would be preferable.

Is it possible to open-source it as a separate repo till the time, openai decide to merge it,if it's on pypi would like to know package name

Yes please this is needed.... can't wait to use this with PydanticAI :)

I’ve created a rough Python SDK for Codex here: comfuture/codex-sdk-python.

Since the OpenAI Codex team is currently not accepting PRs for new features, anyone who needs a Python SDK for Codex can use this repository as a starting point.

I just released codex-python-sdk 🐍
A super lightweight Python SDK for Codex—one context manager and you’re ready.

Repo: https://github.com/spdcoding/codex-python-sdk

from codex_python_sdk import create_client

with create_client() as client:
    result = client.responses_create(prompt="Reply with exactly: READY")
    print(result.session_id)
    print(result.text)
````

Feedback / PRs welcome!

+1 python sdk

There is now an experimental Python sdk available.
