Sydney Magic for IPython

Sydney Magic is an IPython extension that provides line and cell magics for interacting with Sydney.py, an unofficial Python client for Copilot (formerly named Bing Chat), also known as Sydney. This extension allows users to easily use Copilot's capabilities directly within IPython notebooks or shells.

Setting Up the Cookie Environment Variable

Sydney Magic requires a cookie from the Copilot web page to authenticate requests to the Copilot API. To set up this cookie:

  1. Go to the Copilot web page.
  2. Open the developer tools in your browser (usually by pressing F12 or right-clicking on the chat dialog and selecting Inspect).
  3. Select the Network tab to view all requests sent to Copilot.
  4. Write a message on the chat dialog that appears on the web page.
  5. Find a request named create?bundleVersion=XYZ and click on it.
  6. Scroll down to the requests headers section and copy the entire value after the Cookie: field.

Then, set it as an environment variable in your shell:

export BING_COOKIES="<your-cookies>"

Alternatively, you can set the cookie within your IPython notebook or script using the helper_set_cookie("<your-cookies>") function provided by Sydney Magic.

Usage

After installation, load the extension in your IPython environment:

%load_ext sydney_magic

Examples

Ask Copilot a question:

%sydney ask "What is the weather like today?"

Compose content with specific formatting:

%sydney compose "Write a short story about a robot" --format=blogpost --tone=enthusiastic
