Package: openai-streaming
OpenAI Streamingopenai-streamingis a Python library designed to simplify interactions with
theOpenAI Streaming API.
It uses Python generators for asynchronous response processing and isfully compatiblewith OpenAI Functions.If you like this project, or find it interesting -⭐️ please star us on GitHub ⭐️⭐️ FeaturesEasy-to-use Pythonic interfaceSupports OpenAI's generator-based streamingCallback mechanism for handling stream contentSupports OpenAI Functions🤔 Common use-casesThe main goal of this repository is to encourage you to use streaming to speed up the responses from the model.
Among the use-cases for this library, you can:Improve the UX of your app- by utilizing Streaming you can show end-users responses much faster than waiting for
the final response.Speed up LLM chains/pipelines- when processing massive amount of data (e.g. classification, NLP, data extraction,
etc.), every bit of speed improving can accelerate the processing time of the whole corpus.
Using Streaming, you can respond faster even for partial responses.
and continue with the pipelineUse functions/agents with streaming- this library makes functions and agents with Streaming easy peasy.🚀 Getting startedInstall the package using pip or your favorite package manager:pipinstallopenai-streaming⚡️ Quick StartThe following example shows how to use the library to process a streaming response of a simple conversation:fromopenaiimportAsyncOpenAIimportasynciofromopenai_streamingimportprocess_responsefromtypingimportAsyncGenerator# Initialize OpenAI Clientclient=AsyncOpenAI(api_key="<YOUR_API_KEY>",)# Define content handlerasyncdefcontent_handler(content:AsyncGenerator[str,None]):asyncfortokenincontent:print(token,end="")asyncdefmain():# Request and process streamresp=awaitclient.chat.completions.create(model="gpt-3.5-turbo",messages=[{"role":"user","content":"Hello, how are you?"}],stream=True)awaitprocess_response(resp,content_handler)asyncio.run(main())😎 Working with OpenAI FunctionsIntegrate OpenAI Functions using decorators.fromopenai_streamingimportopenai_streaming_function# Define OpenAI Function@openai_streaming_functionasyncdeferror_message(typ:str,description:AsyncGenerator[str,None]):"""You MUST use this function when requested to do something that you cannot do.:param typ: The error's type:param description: The error description"""print("Type: ",end="")asyncfortokenintyp:# <-- Notice that `typ` is an AsyncGenerator and not a stringprint(token,end="")print("")print("Description: ",end="")asyncfortokenindescription:print(token,end="")# Invoke Function in a streaming requestasyncdefmain():# Request and process streamresp=awaitclient.chat.completions.create(model="gpt-3.5-turbo",messages=[{"role":"system","content":"Your code is 1234.

Why use this library?The OpenAI Streaming API is robust but challenging to navigate. Using thestream=Trueflag we get tokens as they are
generated, instead of waiting for the entire response. This can create a much friendlier user experience, with the
illusion of quicker response times. However, this involves complex tasks like manual stream handling
and response parsing, especially when using OpenAI Functions or complex outputs.openai-streaming, is a small library that simplifies this by offering a straightforward Python Generator interface for
handling streaming responses.📑 Reference DocumentationFor more information, please refer to thereference documentation.📜 LicenseThis project is licensed under the terms of theMIT license.
