dads5250

Shared utilities for DADS 5250: Generative AI in Practice (Northeastern University, MIE). Small, dependency light helpers that every course lab imports so the notebooks stay short and consistent: API setup, pretty output boxes, token and cost helpers, and inline quizzes.

Install

Once published to PyPI:

pip install dads5250

Pinned install straight from the course repo (works today, reproducible):

pip install "git+https://github.com/mdehghani86/DADS5250-GenAI.git@v0.2.0#subdirectory=utils"

Optional Gemini support:

pip install "dads5250[gemini]"

What is inside

Module	Purpose
api	setup_openai, setup_gemini, check_api, default model names, key resolution (Colab Secret then env then hidden prompt)
display	pp, pretty_print, show_response, compare_responses, lab_pill and other styled output boxes
cost	token counting and cost estimate helpers
quiz	lightweight inline multiple choice quizzes for labs

Usage

from dads5250 import setup_openai, pp, DEFAULT_MINI_MODEL

client = setup_openai()
resp = client.chat.completions.create(
    model=DEFAULT_MINI_MODEL,
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Say hello"}],
)
pp(resp.choices[0].message.content, title="Model reply")

Versioning

Labs pin a released tag (for example @v0.2.0) so a notebook downloaded from Canvas keeps working even if the repository changes later. Bump the version in pyproject.toml, tag the commit, and the labs move to the new version only when their install line is updated.
