How to run OpenAI Python Script in Workflow?

[antonvh]

I'm bad at JS, so I try to use Python in workflows. Where did I go wrong?

 

Here's what I did:

1. Right mouse button on workflow > Open in terminal
2. Run `pip3 install -U --target=. openai` (works)
3. Set workflow environment variable to `PYTHONPATH` to `.` 
4. Run this script in the workflow:

   import sys
   
   query = sys.argv[1]
   
   from openai import OpenAI
   
   client = OpenAI(
       api_key="sk-proj-..."
   )
   
   response = client.chat.completions.create(
     model="gpt-4o-mini",
     messages=[
       {"role": "system", "content": "You are a copywriter who rewrites text with correct spelling and grammar, staying close to the original."},
       {"role": "user", "content": query},
     ]
   )
   
   message = response.choices[0].message.content
   
   print(message)
   
   sys.stdout.write(message)

 

A similar script in VSCode where I installed openai in a venv just works. But the one in Alfred gives me these errors in the Alfred debugger. I'm at a loss because it finds the openai module, but crashes importing a dependency.

I would like the script to output 'Can I have all your bases, please? They are ours now.'

 

Oh, and running python3 from within the workflow directory is no problem either:

>>> from openai import OpenAI

See Understanding the Scripting Environment. The Python you used to install the dependency is not the same running in the workflow. Either save your script as a file with the proper shebang and execute it from the workflow or install the dependency explicitly with /usr/bin/python

OK. Works. Thanks! Suggestion: The page 'understanding scripting environment' could improve with an example. I did read it, but it didn't click. 

Can I have all your bases, please? They belong to us now.
