# AutoGenLib > The only library you'll need ever. > > Import wisdom, export code. AutoGenLib is a Python library that automatically generates code on-the-fly using OpenAI's API. When you try to import a module or function that doesn't exist, AutoGenLib creates it for you based on a high-level description of what you need. [Video review of library](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6ZBddPiGZE) ## Features - **Dynamic Code Generation**: Import modules and functions that don't exist yet - **Context-Aware**: New functions are generated with knowledge of existing code - **Progressive Enhancement**: Add new functionality to existing modules seamlessly - **No Default Caching**: Each import generates fresh code for more varied and creative results - **Full Codebase Context**: LLM can see all previously generated modules for better consistency - **Caller Code Analysis**: The LLM analyzes the actual code that's importing the module to better understand the context and requirements - **Automatic Exception Handling**: All exceptions are sent to LLM to provide clear explanation and fixes for errors. ## Installation ```bash pip install autogenlib ``` Or install from source: ```bash git clone https://github.com/cofob/autogenlib.git cd autogenlib pip install -e . ``` ## Requirements - Python 3.12+ - OpenAI API key ## Quick Start Set OpenAI API key in `OPENAI_API_KEY` env variable. ```python # Import a function that doesn't exist yet - it will be automatically generated from autogenlib.tokens import generate_token # Use the generated function token = generate_token(length=32) print(token) ``` ## How It Works 1. You initialize AutoGenLib with a description of what you need 2. When you import a module or function under the `autogenlib` namespace, the library: - Checks if the module/function already exists - If not, it analyzes the code that's performing the import to understand the context - It sends a request to OpenAI's API with your description and the context - The API generates the appropriate code - The code is validated and executed - The requested module/function becomes available for use ## Examples ### Generate a TOTP Generator ```python from autogenlib.totp import totp_generator print(totp_generator("SECRETKEY123")) ``` Add a Verification Function Later ```python # Later in your application, you need verification: from autogenlib.totp import verify_totp result = verify_totp("SECRETKEY123", "123456") print(f"Verification result: {result}") ``` ### Using Context-Awareness ```python # Import a function - AutoGenLib will see how your data is structured from autogenlib.processor import get_highest_score # Define your data structure data = [{"user": "Alice", "score": 95}, {"user": "Bob", "score": 82}] # The function will work with your data structure without you having to specify details print(get_highest_score(data)) # Will correctly extract the highest score ``` ### Create Multiple Modules ```python # You can use init function to additionally hint the purpose of your library from autogenlib import init init("Cryptographic utility library") # Generate encryption module from autogenlib.encryption import encrypt_text, decrypt_text encrypted = encrypt_text("Secret message", "password123") decrypted = decrypt_text(encrypted, "password123") print(decrypted) # Generate hashing module from autogenlib.hashing import hash_password, verify_password hashed = hash_password("my_secure_password") is_valid = verify_password("my_secure_password", hashed) print(f"Password valid: {is_valid}") ``` ## Configuration ### Setting the OpenAI API Key Set your OpenAI API key as an environment variable: ```bash export OPENAI_API_KEY="your-api-key-here" # Optional export OPENAI_API_BASE_URL="https://openrouter.ai/api/v1" # Use OpenRouter API export OPENAI_MODEL="openai/gpt-4.1" ``` Or in your Python code (not recommended for production): ```python import os os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = "your-api-key-here" ``` ### Caching Behavior By default, AutoGenLib does not cache generated code. This means: - Each time you import a module, the LLM generates fresh code - You get more varied and often funnier results due to LLM hallucinations - The same import might produce different implementations across runs If you want to enable caching (for consistency or to reduce API calls): ```python from autogenlib import init init("Library for data processing", enable_caching=True) ``` Or toggle caching at runtime: ```python from autogenlib import init, set_caching init("Library for data processing") # Later in your code: set_caching(True) # Enable caching set_caching(False) # Disable caching ``` When caching is enabled, generated code is stored in `~/.autogenlib_cache`. ## Limitations - Requires internet connection to generate new code - Depends on OpenAI API availability - Generated code quality depends on the clarity of your description - Not suitable for production-critical code without review ## Advanced Usage ### Inspecting Generated Code You can inspect the code that was generated for a module: ```python from autogenlib.totp import totp_generator import inspect print(inspect.getsource(totp_generator)) ``` ## How AutoGenLib Uses the OpenAI API AutoGenLib creates prompts for the OpenAI API that include: 1. The description you provided 2. Any existing code in the module being enhanced 3. The full context of all previously generated modules 4. The code that's importing the module/function (new feature!) 5. The specific function or feature needed This comprehensive context helps the LLM generate code that's consistent with your existing codebase and fits perfectly with how you intend to use it. ## Contributing Contributions are not welcome!
