Update the repo-run examples that still hardcoded gpt-5 so they use the same gpt-5.4 path already succeeding elsewhere in this runtime. This fixes the quickstart, lifecycle, multimodal, parity, CLI, retry, and kitchen-sink examples that were failing with the runtime-side tool_search compatibility error under gpt-5. Validation: - ran all 25 sdk/python example scripts locally - no examples reported failed turns after the model update - remaining empty-item outputs are limited to 02_turn_run and 03_turn_stream_events for follow-up investigation 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: 0.115.0-alpha.11
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).
