Use Codex CLI to Enhance Your Python Projects (Summary)

Use Codex CLI to Enhance Your Python Projects Rodrigo Girão Serrão 01:11

In this video course, you learned how to use Codex CLI to add features to a Python project directly from your terminal. You explored the full workflow of AI-powered coding without needing a browser or IDE plugin.

More specifically, you learned how to:

Install and configure Codex CLI on your machine
Set up a Python project for use with Codex CLI
Use Codex CLI to implement new features in a multi-file project
Work with Plan mode to review changes before applying them
Refine features through iterative prompting and follow-up instructions

As for next steps, the sky is the limit. Taking inspiration from the original app tutorial, you could add new data fields, provide search capability, or add backup capability. Since you’re working on the project with LLMs, you may want to add automated tests – and you can use Codex for that too.

00:00 Congratulations on making it this far! Remember that in this course, you learned to install and set up Codex CLI, you used Codex CLI to work on a Python project, you leveraged the Plan mode to get better results out of Codex so that you could have an implementation plan before letting the LLM loose on your codebase, and you used some Codex CLI commands to make development easier for you, namely the /plan command but also the /diff command, for example.

00:30 Now, if you want to take things further, there’s a couple of directions in which you could go. Regarding the tooling that you use, if you want to learn more about uv, Real Python has a tutorial that could be a good starting point.

00:43 And if you want to take a step back and read the tutorial where the project rpcontacts was originally created, feel free to do that too. And if you want to stay in line with the AI theme, there’s a learning path at Real Python about Python coding with AI.

01:02 So be sure to check that out if that’s what interests you at this point. I hope you enjoyed the course. My name is Rodrigo, and I’ll see you in the next one.
