The OpenAI Python library provides convenient access to the OpenAI API from applications written in the Python language. It includes a pre-defined set of classes for API resources that initialize themselves dynamically from API responses which makes it compatible with a wide range of versions of the OpenAI API.

This library additionally provides an openai command-line utility which makes it easy to interact with the API from your terminal. Run openai api -h for usage.

See the OpenAI API docs. (During the beta, you'll need to be signed into your account to see them.)

You don't need this source code unless you want to modify the package. If you just want to use the package, just run:

pip install --upgrade openai

Install from source with:

python setup.py install

• Python 2.7+ or Python 3.4+ (PyPy supported)

In general we want to support the versions of Python that our customers are using, so if you run into issues with any version issues, please let us know at [email protected].

This library is forked from the Stripe Python Library.
