Ahmed Ibrahim d0663f8004 [codex] Simplify Python SDK install guidance (#24866)
## Summary
- Remove the exact-version install snippet from the PyPI-facing Python
SDK README.
- Remove the release-selection explanation so the install section
presents the standard `pip install openai-codex` path directly.

## Validation
- Not run locally; relying on online CI for this documentation-only
change.

# OpenAI Codex Python SDK (Beta)
Build Python applications that start Codex threads, run turns, stream progress,
and control workspace access.
> [!NOTE]
> `openai-codex` is in beta. Public APIs may change before `1.0`.
## Install
Install the SDK:
```bash
pip install openai-codex
```
## Quickstart
The SDK reuses your existing Codex authentication when one is already
available:
```python
from openai_codex import Codex
with Codex() as codex:
thread = codex.thread_start()
result = thread.run("Explain this repository in three bullets.")
print(result.final_response)
```
`thread.run(...)` returns a `TurnResult` containing the final response,
collected items, and token usage.
## Authentication
Existing Codex authentication is reused automatically. To start ChatGPT
browser login explicitly:
```python
from openai_codex import Codex
with Codex() as codex:
login = codex.login_chatgpt()
print(login.auth_url)
print(login.wait().success)
```
For device-code login:
```python
with Codex() as codex:
login = codex.login_chatgpt_device_code()
print(login.verification_url, login.user_code)
login.wait()
```
For API-key login:
```python
with Codex() as codex:
codex.login_api_key("sk-...")
```
## Built-In Help
Use Python's standard `help(openai_codex)`, `help(Codex)`, or
`python -m pydoc openai_codex` documentation tools.
