PromptCaller

PromptCaller is a Python package for calling prompts in a specific format, using LangChain and the OpenAI API. It enables users to load prompts from a template, render them with contextual data, and make structured requests to the OpenAI API.

Features

• Load prompts from a .prompt file containing a YAML configuration and a message template.
• Invoke prompts using LangChain and OpenAI API, with support for structured output.

Installation

To install the package, simply run:

pip install prompt-caller

You will also need an .env file that contains your OpenAI API key:

OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_api_key_here

Usage

1. Define a prompt file:

Create a .prompt file in the prompts directory, e.g., prompts/sample.prompt:

---
model: gpt-4o-mini
temperature: 0.7
max_tokens: 512
output:
  result: "Final result of the expression"
  explanation: "Explanation of the calculation"
---
<system>
You are a helpful assistant.
</system>

<user>
How much is {{expression}}?
</user>

This .prompt file contains:

• A YAML header for configuring the model and parameters.
• A template body using Jinja2 to inject the context (like {{ expression }}).
• Messages structured in a JSX-like format (<system>, <user>).

2. Load and call a prompt:

from prompt_caller import PromptCaller

ai = PromptCaller()

response = ai.call("sample", {"expression": "3+8/9"})

print(response)

In this example:

• The expression value 3+8/9 is injected into the user message.
• The model will respond with both the result of the expression and an explanation, as specified in the output section of the prompt.

3. Using the agent feature:

The agent method allows you to enhance the prompt's functionality by integrating external tools. Here’s an example where we evaluate a mathematical expression using Python’s eval in a safe execution environment:

from prompt_caller import PromptCaller

ai = PromptCaller()

def evaluate_expression(expression: str):
      """
      Evaluate a math expression using eval.
      """
      safe_globals = {"__builtins__": None}
      return eval(expression, safe_globals, {})

response = ai.agent(
      "sample-agent", {"expression": "3+8/9"}, tools=[evaluate_expression]
)

print(response)

In this example:

• The agent method is used to process the prompt while integrating external tools.
• The evaluate_expression function evaluates the mathematical expression securely.
• The response includes the processed result based on the prompt and tool execution.

How It Works

1. _loadPrompt: Loads the prompt file, splits the YAML header from the body, and parses them.
2. _renderTemplate: Uses the Jinja2 template engine to render the body with the provided context.
3. _parseJSXBody: Parses the message body written in JSX-like tags to extract system and user messages.
4. call: Invokes the OpenAI API with the parsed configuration and messages, and handles structured output via dynamic Pydantic models.

Build and Upload

To build the distribution and upload it to a package repository like PyPI, follow these steps:

1. Build the distribution:

   Run the following command to create both source (sdist) and wheel (bdist_wheel) distributions:

   python setup.py sdist bdist_wheel
   

   This will generate the distribution files in the dist/ directory.

2. Upload to PyPI using Twine:

   Use twine to securely upload the distribution to PyPI:

   twine upload dist/*
   

   Ensure you have configured your PyPI credentials before running this command. You can find more information on configuring credentials in the Twine documentation.
