This project provides an open-source Python API that replicates the functionality of OpenAI's ChatGPT Code Interpreter, enabling users to execute Python code within a sandboxed environment for tasks like data analysis, charting, and image manipulation. It's designed for developers and researchers who want to integrate code execution capabilities into their LLM applications, offering local execution for most components except the LLM itself.

How It Works

The API leverages LangChain for orchestration and CodeBoxes as a backend for secure, sandboxed Python code execution. It supports internet access and automatic Python package installation, allowing the LLM to generate and run Python code based on user input, including file uploads. The system maintains conversation memory, enabling context-aware responses and iterative problem-solving.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Install with: pip install "codeinterpreterapi[all]" (includes local experiment dependencies) or pip install codeinterpreterapi (for production deployments).
• Requires an OpenAI API Key (set as OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable).
• Documentation: https://github.com/shroominic/codeinterpreter-api#docs
• Examples: https://github.com/shroominic/codeinterpreter-api/tree/main/examples

Highlighted Details

• Supports dataset analysis, stock charting, and image manipulation.
• Enables internet access and automatic Python package installation.
• Offers both synchronous and asynchronous API usage.
• Local execution for all components except the LLM.

Maintenance & Community

• Project is open for contributions, with TODOs listed for potential improvements.

Licensing & Compatibility

• The specific license is not explicitly stated in the README. Compatibility for commercial use or closed-source linking is not detailed.

Limitations & Caveats

The CodeBox API for production scalability is in early development. The project is open to contributions and bug reports, indicating it may still be maturing.
