Sorry, I was not trying to belittle your effort, not at all. In fact, its sort of the other way around. You inspired me enough today (basically because I had to deep-dive and try to debug a problem which turned out to be an openai python bug) to realize how simple it actually is to use the completions API. Also, recently upgraded to Debian Bookworm, I was greeted by the new future that pip install refuses to do what it used to do, forcing you to create a venv. So I learnt about pipx, and realized this is getting a bit out of hand, esp. because the bug I was tracing ended up being somewhere deep in the dependencies of the tool you wrote. Remembering KISS, I went back to shell. I am sure I could encode stuff with plain other tools as well, but jq is actually handy for escaping json strings. And since it can read variable content from stdin, I was a happy man. Even with decently working emacs integration now. But again, thanks for writing this. I have both now, and will happily steal ideas from chatblade!
