dev-gpt

How to use

Currently the best way to use dev-gpt is through the Jupyter notebook called dev-gpt

This command-line interface (CLI) app uses OpenAI's GPT-4 to automatically write Python code based on a given prompt. It allows users to interact with GPT-4, request code snippets, save the code to files, and run the generated code. The app also extracts and installs required dependencies and handles potential code execution errors.

Features

Interact with GPT-4 through a command-line interface
Automatically generate Python code based on user input
Extract and install required dependencies
Save generated code to a file
Run generated code and display the output
Error handling for code execution
Save the session information in JSON format

Requirements

Python 3.6+
openai library (install via pip install openai)
An OpenAI API key (obtain from OpenAI)

Installation

Clone this repository: git clone https://github.com/username/gpt-4-python-code-generator.git
Change into the cloned directory: cd gpt-4-python-code-generator
Install the required libraries: pip install -r requirements.txt
Set up an environment variable for the OpenAI API key: export OPENAI_API_KEY=your_api_key_here

Usage

Run the CLI app: python cli.py --api_key your_api_key
Enter a message to provide a prompt for GPT-4. For example:

Enter a new message (or type 'quit' to exit): Write a Python function to find the factorial of a given number.

GPT-4 generates a response with the code snippet and provides instructions on how to run the code. The response will be in the following format:

```bash
(required dependencies)

(Python code)

Provide instructions on how to run the code in the response.


4. The app saves generated code to a file and runs the code. Any output is displayed in the CLI.

5. If there are any errors in the code, the app asks for help to fix the errors and generates a new response.

6. To exit the CLI, type `quit` or `exit`.

7. The session information is saved in a JSON file named `session.json`.

## Example

$ python cli.py --api_key your_api_key Enter a new message (or type 'quit' to exit): Write a Python function to find the factorial of a given number.

GPT-4 Response:

def factorial(n: int) -> int:
    if n == 0:
        return 1
    else:
        return n * factorial(n-1)

To run the code, call the factorial function with an integer argument, like factorial(5).
