dynamic-functioneer 1.0.0

A Python package for dynamic function and method handling with LLM support.

DynamicFunctioneer

Auto-generate and improve Python methods with decorators powered by LLMs.

Prerequisites

A version of Python 3.9 or higher is required.

Quick Installation

You can install DynamicFunctioneer directly from PyPI with a single command:

pip install dynamic-functioneer

This is the simplest way to get started with the package. You will also need to export the API key of your LLM models.

Alternative Installation (from source)

If you prefer to work with the source code —for example, to develop or debug DynamicFunctioneer— you can install it from GitHub. To do this, you’ll need to use uv to manage your virtual environment and dependencies.

Before proceeding, install uv (if you haven’t already):

For macOS and Linux:

curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

For Windows:

powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"

After installing, ensure uv is accessible by verifying the version:

uv --version

If uv is not recognized, ensure the installation path (e.g., ~/.local/bin on macOS/Linux or %USERPROFILE%\.local\bin on Windows) is added to your system's PATH environment variable.

Installation

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/eramireztorres/DynamicFunctioneer.git

Navigate to the directory:

cd DynamicFunctioneer

Create virtual environment

You can create and manage the environment using uv:

uv venv

After creating the environment, activate it:

• Linux/Mac: source .venv/bin/activate
• Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate

Make sure to activate this environment whenever working with Gpt4CLI.

Install the package:

uv sync

Export the API keys of your models

OpenAI Models

For OpenAI models, export your API key as an environment variable:

Linux or macOS:

export OPENAI_API_KEY='your_openai_api_key_here'

Or in windows:

setx OPENAI_API_KEY "your_openai_api_key_here"

You can export API keys for other model providers in a similar way by using the corresponding environment variable names:

• Gemini: Use GEMINI_API_KEY
• Anthropic: Use ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
• OpenRouter: Use OPENROUTER_API_KEY

Overview

@dynamic_function is a Python decorator designed to enhance the flexibility and robustness of your functions and methods by dynamically generating, testing, and improving their implementation. Powered by large language models (LLMs), this decorator enables seamless integration of dynamic logic into your codebase, providing:

• Automatic Implementation: Generates function or method code dynamically based on provided descriptions and examples.
• Error Handling: Automatically detects and fixes runtime errors using iterative retries and LLM-based suggestions.
• Unit Testing Integration: Optionally generates and executes unit tests for the dynamic code to ensure reliability.
• Customization: Allows developers to configure models, retries, testing, and other parameters to suit their specific requirements.

By leveraging @dynamic_function, developers can prototype faster, maintain cleaner code, and handle edge cases with minimal manual intervention.

@dynamic_function Decorator

The @dynamic_function decorator dynamically generates, tests, and improves the implementation of functions or methods using the power of large language models (LLMs). It integrates features like automatic code generation, runtime error fixing, and optional unit testing to provide a highly flexible and automated development workflow.

Arguments

• model (str, default="gpt-4o-mini")
  Specifies the LLM to use for generating the function or method code.

• prompt (str, optional)
  A custom prompt to guide the LLM for generating code. If None, a default prompt is used.

• dynamic_file (str, optional)
  Path to the file where the dynamically generated function/method code will be stored. Defaults to a file in the same directory as the decorated function or method.

• dynamic_test_file (str, optional)
  Path to the file where generated unit test code will be stored, if unit testing is enabled.

• extra_info (str, optional)
  Additional information or examples to provide context to the LLM for code generation.

• fix_dynamically (bool, default=True)
  If True, the decorator attempts to fix runtime errors dynamically by generating corrected code using the LLM.

• error_trials (int, default=3)
  The number of attempts the LLM should make to fix runtime errors.

• error_model (str, default="gpt-4o")
  The LLM model to use for generating fixes for runtime errors.

• error_prompt (str, optional)
  A custom prompt to guide the LLM for fixing runtime errors. If None, a default error-fixing prompt is used.

• hs_condition (callable, optional)
  A condition that, when met, triggers hot-swapping of the function or method with a new dynamically generated version.

• hs_model (str, default="gpt-4o")
  The LLM model to use for hot-swapping logic when the hs_condition is met.

• hs_prompt (str, optional)
  A custom prompt to guide the LLM for hot-swapping the function or method.

• execution_context (dict, optional)
  A dictionary of additional context or variables required during code execution or testing.

• keep_ok_version (bool, default=True)
  If True, retains the last known working version of the dynamically generated code before attempting any fixes or updates.

• unit_test (bool, default=False)
  (Only for functions) If True, the decorator generates and executes unit tests for the dynamic code. Unit testing is skipped if set to False.

Usage Example: Dynamic function

@dynamic_function()
def calculate_average(numbers):
    """
    Calculates the average of a list of numbers.

    Args:
        numbers (list of float): A list of numeric values.

    Returns:
        float: The average of the list.

    Raises:
        ValueError: If the list is empty or contains invalid values.
    """
    pass

Usage Example: Dynamic Methods in a Class 1

The @dynamic_function decorator can be applied to methods within a class to dynamically generate, test, and fix their implementation.

        self.tasks = {}

    @dynamic_function(
        model="meta-llama/llama-3.2-3b-instruct:free",
        extra_info="Adds a new task with a given priority. Updates priority if the task already exists.",
        error_model="meta-llama/llama-3.2-3b-instruct:free"
