Ahmed Ibrahim bc49677ec8 [codex] Pin Python SDK to glibc-compatible runtime (#25907)
## Summary
- pin the Python SDK runtime package to `openai-codex-cli-bin==0.136.0`
so Ubuntu/glibc installs resolve a compatible wheel
- refresh generated SDK artifacts and lock data for the runtime update
- keep newly generated client-message-id wire models internal to the
generated protocol layer

## Dependency
- merge #25906 first so the Python SDK release publishes both manylinux
and musllinux runtime wheels before publishing the package with this pin

## Validation
- ran `just fmt`
- regenerated the Python public API helpers
- validated the edited workflow YAML
- CI passed 29/29 checks

OpenAI Codex Python SDK (Beta)

Build Python applications that start Codex threads, run turns, stream progress, and control workspace access.

Install

Install the SDK:

pip install openai-codex

Quickstart

The SDK reuses your existing Codex authentication when one is already available:

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:

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:

with Codex() as codex:
    login = codex.login_chatgpt_device_code()
    print(login.verification_url, login.user_code)
    login.wait()

For API-key login:

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.
