## TL;DR Add `thread.run(...)` / `async thread.run(...)` convenience methods to the Python SDK for the common case. - add `RunInput = Input | str` and `RunResult` with `final_response`, collected `items`, and optional `usage` - keep `thread.turn(...)` strict and lower-level for streaming, steering, interrupting, and raw generated `Turn` access - update Python SDK docs, quickstart examples, and tests for the sync and async convenience flows ## Validation - `python3 -m pytest sdk/python/tests/test_public_api_signatures.py sdk/python/tests/test_public_api_runtime_behavior.py` - `python3 -m pytest sdk/python/tests/test_real_app_server_integration.py -k 'thread_run_convenience or async_thread_run_convenience'` (skipped in this environment) --------- Co-authored-by: Codex <noreply@openai.com> |

Python SDK Examples
Each example folder contains runnable versions:
sync.py(public sync surface:Codex)async.py(public async surface:AsyncCodex)
All examples intentionally use only public SDK exports from codex_app_server.
Prerequisites
- Python
>=3.10 - Install SDK dependencies for the same Python interpreter you will use to run examples
Recommended setup (from sdk/python):
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
python -m pip install -U pip
python -m pip install -e .
When running examples from this repo checkout, the SDK source uses the local
tree and does not bundle a runtime binary. The helper in examples/_bootstrap.py
uses the installed codex-cli-bin runtime package.
If the pinned codex-cli-bin runtime is not already installed, the bootstrap
will download the matching GitHub release artifact, stage a temporary local
codex-cli-bin package, install it into your active interpreter, and clean up
the temporary files afterward.
Current pinned runtime version: 0.116.0-alpha.1
Run examples
From sdk/python:
python examples/<example-folder>/sync.py
python examples/<example-folder>/async.py
The examples bootstrap local imports from sdk/python/src automatically, so no
SDK wheel install is required. You only need the Python dependencies for your
active interpreter and an installed codex-cli-bin runtime package (either
already present or automatically provisioned by the bootstrap).
Recommended first run
python examples/01_quickstart_constructor/sync.py
python examples/01_quickstart_constructor/async.py
