This is a preview of the video course, "Use Codex CLI to Enhance Your Python Projects". After watching this video course, you’ll be able to use Codex CLI to add features to a Python project directly from your terminal. Codex CLI is an AI-powered coding assistant that runs inside your terminal. It understands your project structure, reads your files, and proposes multi-file changes using natural language instructions.

Instead of copying code from a browser or relying on an IDE plugin, you’ll use Codex CLI to implement a real feature in a multi-file Python project directly from your terminal.
