Executing Codex's code

[juliushamilton100]

Hey,

I’d like to send a prompt to GPT-3 Codex and for the code to be returned somewhere that I can then execute it, preferably at the command line.

Could someone recommend a basic set-up for this?

Is there an easy way to execute the whole string as a program? I tried the Python “exec” command but it didn’t work for me, saying there was an “EOL while scanning literal”.

I have created a small utility called CopyRun for that purpose –

CopyRun Your Python code

I wrote a Python code test utility called CopyRun. For now I am still using the default Codex Playground to generate code. So I have to copy generated code, save it to a file and launch the file from Linux command line. CopyRun’s workflow is the same, except it is automated, thus faster. And – You can copy the code either from Playground or anywhere else on the internet. It is recommended that You set up a virtual environment for the app to work in. Also read the documentation first!
