OpenAI Codex Python to C++ Code Generator
Your Python Code is too slow? 🐌 You want to speed it up but forgot how to code in C++? ⌨ Convert your Python script to C++ Code using OpenAI Codex.
Reads a Python file and creates an input prompt which is then fed to OpenAI Codex to generate corresponding C++ code. The generated code is getting compiled using g++ and if compilation is successful the executable is saved.
To generate your own files you need to get access to the Codex API (https://openai.com/blog/openai-codex/).
git clone https://github.com/alxschwrz/codex_py2cpp.git
cd codex_py2cpp
pip3 install -r requirements.txtReads the file "simpleScript.py", and feeds the corresponding input prompt to OpenAI Codex. Compilable solutions are stored in the form of .cpp and .exe files.
python3 python2cppconverter.py
If the generated C++ code got compiled, test it with
./simpleScript.exe
You hopefully get the same output as when running
python3 simpleScript.py
Check how much faster you are now ...
time ./simpleScript.exe
time python3 simpleScript.py
| [In]: Python Snippet | [Out]: How the CODEX conversion might look like |
|---|---|
def add_something(x, y):
print("casually adding some stuff together")
z = x + y
return z
if __name__ == "__main__":
print('Okay, lets go')
print(add_something(5, 2)) |
// C++ Code generated from Python Code:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int add_something(int x, int y) {
cout << "casually adding some stuff together" << endl;
int z = x + y;
return z;
}
int main() {
cout << "Okay, lets go" << endl;
cout << add_something(5, 2) << endl;
return 0;
} |
Please test your generated code before usage. This does not produce robust code conversions, but is intended to experiment with codex. [WIP]
