OpenAI Function Call and Pydantic Integration Module

This Python module provides a powerful and efficient approach to output parsing when interacting with OpenAI's Function Call API. It leverages the data validation capabilities of the Pydantic library to handle output parsing in a more structured and reliable manner. This README will guide you through the installation, usage, and contribution processes of this module. If you have any feedback, leave an issue or hit me up on twitter.

Installation

To get started, clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/jxnl/openai_function_call.git

Next, install the necessary Python packages from the requirements.txt file:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Contributing

Your contributions are welcome! If you have great examples or find neat patterns, clone the repo and add another example. The goal is to find great patterns and cool examples to highlight.

If you encounter any issues or want to provide feedback, you can create an issue in this repository. You can also reach out to me on Twitter at @jxnlco.

Poetry

We also use poetry if you'd like

poetry build

Note that there's no separate pip install command for this module. Simply copy and paste the module's code into your application.

Usage

This module simplifies the interaction with the OpenAI API, enabling a more structured and predictable conversation with the AI. Below are examples showcasing the use of function calls and schemas with OpenAI and Pydantic.

Example 1: Function Calls

import openai
from openai_function_call import openai_function

@openai_function
def sum(a:int, b:int) -> int:
    """Sum description adds a + b"""
    return a + b

completion = openai.ChatCompletion.create(
        model="gpt-3.5-turbo-0613",
        temperature=0,
        functions=[sum.openai_schema],
        messages=[
            {
                "role": "system",
                "content": "You must use the `sum` function instead of adding yourself.",
            },
            {
                "role": "user",
                "content": "What is 6+3 use the `sum` function",
            },
        ],
    )

result = sum.from_response(completion)
print(result)  # 9

Example 2: Schema Extraction

import openai
from openai_function_call import OpenAISchema

class UserDetails(OpenAISchema):
    """User Details"""
    name: str = Field(..., description="User's name")
    age: int = Field(..., description="User's age")

completion = openai.ChatCompletion.create(
    model="gpt-3.5-turbo-0613",
    functions=[UserDetails.openai_schema]
    messages=[
        {"role": "system", "content": "I'm going to ask for user details. Use UserDetails to parse this data."},
        {"role": "user", "content": "My name is John Doe and I'm 30 years old."},
    ],
)

user_details = UserDetails.from_response(completion)
print(user_details)  # UserDetails(name="John Doe", age=30)
