There’s an ever-increasing need for practical, adaptable, and user-friendly tools in the dynamic world of software development and programming. Developers are looking for solutions that allow them to operate effortlessly in their local development setups without being hampered by the confines of online hosted platforms. This article delves into a revolutionary answer to these demands – Open Interpreter.
While the Code Interpreter from OpenAI, based on the GPT-4 architecture, is undeniably transformative, it has limitations. Being a hosted solution, OpenAI’s offering runs in a distant, regulated environment, restricting developers from harnessing the full capabilities of their local configurations. Among the challenges faced are no access to the internet, a confined list of pre-loaded packages, a cap on uploads at 100 MB, and a runtime restriction of 120 seconds. Moreover, if the session terminates, any produced files or links vanish, creating obstacles for extended assignments.
With Open Interpreter, developers can fully utilize their computer’s resources, side-stepping the limitations of online services.
Understanding Open Interpreter
At its core, Open Interpreter is a bridge between human language and computer code. Instead of manually writing out every line of code, users can describe their intentions in natural language, and Open Interpreter translates that into executable code. This offers an entirely new programming approach, simplifying and streamlining the process.

Open Interpreter will require approval before running code. Use interpreter -y to bypass this.
Press CTRL-C to exit.
To plot AAPL and META's normalized stock prices, we will need to follow these steps:
1 Install necessary packages. We will need pandas, yfinance, and matplotlib for Python.
2 Download the stock prices for AAPL and META using yfinance.
3 Normalize the stock prices.
4 Plot the normalized stock prices.
Let's start with the first step, which is installing the necessary packages.
import pkg_resources
REQUIRED_PACKAGES = ['pandas', 'yfinance', 'matplotlib']
for package in REQUIRED_PACKAGES:
try:
dist = pkg_resources.get_distribution(package)
print('{} ({}) is installed'.format(dist.key, dist.version))
except pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound:
print('{} is NOT installed'.format(package))
import pkg_resources
REQUIRED_PACKAGES = ['pandas', 'yfinance', 'matplotlib']
for package in REQUIRED_PACKAGES:
dist = pkg_resources.get_distribution(package)
print('{} ({}) is installed'.format(dist.key, dist.version))
except pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound:
print('{} is NOT installed'.format(package))
pandas (2.1.0) is installed
yfinance (0.2.28) is installed
matplotlib (3.8.0) is installed
Great! All the necessary packages are already installed.
Now, let's move on to the next step: downloading the stock prices for AAPL (Apple Inc.) and META (Meta Platforms Inc., formerly Facebook Inc.) using the yfinance package.
We will download the last 5 years of daily closing prices.
import yfinance as yf
# Define the ticker symbols
symbols = ['AAPL', 'META']
# Download the stock data
stock_data = yf.download(symbols, start='2017-01-01', end='2022-12-31')['Close']
# Print the first few rows of the data
stock_data.head()
import yfinance as yf
# Define the ticker symbols
symbols = ['AAPL', 'META']
stock_data = yf.download(symbols, start='2017-01-01', end='2022-12-31')['Close']
# Print the first few rows of the data
stock_data.head()
[ 0%% ]
[*********************100%%**********************] 2 of 2 completed
AAPL META
Date
2017-01-03 29.037500 116.860001
2017-01-04 29.004999 118.690002
2017-01-05 29.152500 120.669998
2017-01-06 29.477501 123.410004
2017-01-09 29.747499 124.900002
We have successfully downloaded the stock prices for AAPL and META.
The next step is to normalize these stock prices. Normalizing the stock prices allows us to compare the two stocks on the same scale. We will normalize the prices such that
the first price is 1 and all subsequent prices are relative to the first price.
normalized_data = stock_data / stock_data.iloc[0]
# Print the first few rows of the normalized data
normalized_data.head()
normalized_data = stock_data / stock_data.iloc[0]
# Print the first few rows of the normalized data
normalized_data.head()
AAPL META
Date
2017-01-03 1.000000 1.000000
2017-01-04 0.998881 1.015660
2017-01-05 1.003960 1.032603
2017-01-06 1.015153 1.056050
The stock prices for AAPL and META have been successfully normalized.
Now, let's move on to the final step: plotting the normalized stock prices. We will use the matplotlib package for this.
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
# Create a new figure
plt.figure(figsize=(14, 7))
# Plot the normalized stock prices
for symbol in symbols:
plt.plot(normalized_data.index, normalized_data[symbol], label=symbol)
# Add a title and labels
plt.title('Normalized Stock Prices: AAPL vs META')
plt.xlabel('Date')
plt.ylabel('Normalized Price')
plt.legend()
# Save the plot as an image
plt.savefig('normalized_stock_prices.png')
# Close the plot
plt.close()
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
# Create a new figure
plt.figure(figsize=(14, 7))
# Plot the normalized stock prices
for symbol in symbols:
plt.plot(normalized_data.index, normalized_data[symbol], label=symbol)
# Add a title and labels
plt.title('Normalized Stock Prices: AAPL vs META')
plt.xlabel('Date')
plt.ylabel('Normalized Price')
plt.legend()
# Save the plot as an image
plt.savefig('normalized_stock_prices.png')
# Close the plot
plt.close()█

Let’s try asking for a search on the internet: What are the last 10 BBC news headlines?
(.venv) PS D:\interpreter> interpreter -y
> What are the last 10 BBC news headlines?
To get the last 10 BBC news headlines, we can use web scraping techniques. Python has several libraries for this purpose, such as BeautifulSoup and requests. Here is the
plan:
1 Install necessary Python packages (requests and BeautifulSoup) if they are not already installed.
2 Fetch the BBC News homepage HTML using requests.
3 Parse the HTML using BeautifulSoup to find the news headlines.
4 Extract and return the last 10 news headlines.
Let's start with the first step, which is to check if the necessary Python packages are installed. If not, we will install them.
import pkg_resources
REQUIRED_PACKAGES = ['beautifulsoup4', 'requests']
for package in REQUIRED_PACKAGES:
try:
dist = pkg_resources.get_distribution(package)
print('{} ({}) is installed'.format(dist.key, dist.version))
except pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound:
print('{} is NOT installed'.format(package))
beautifulsoup4 (4.12.2) is installed
requests (2.31.0) is installed
Great! Both 'beautifulsoup4' and 'requests' packages are already installed.
Now, let's move to the next step of the plan: Fetch the BBC News homepage HTML using requests. We will send a GET request to the BBC News homepage URL and print the status
of the response to ensure we are able to connect to the page.
import requests
url = 'https://www.bbc.co.uk/news'
response = requests.get(url)
print('Status code:', response.status_code)
Status code: 200
The status code 200 indicates that we successfully fetched the HTML of the BBC News homepage.
Now, let's move to the next step of the plan: Parse the HTML using BeautifulSoup to find the news headlines. We will parse the HTML and find the elements that contain the
news headlines. For this, we need to know the structure of the BBC News homepage. The headlines are usually contained in HTML elements with specific class names. We will
try to find these elements and print some of them to verify that we are correctly extracting the headlines.
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
soup = BeautifulSoup(response.text, 'html.parser')
# BBC News headlines are usually in h3 elements with class 'gs-c-promo-heading__title'
# Print the first 5 headlines to verify
for headline in headlines[:5]:
print(headline.text.strip())

'Everything has just been completely ripped away'
We have successfully extracted the news headlines from the BBC News homepage. The headlines printed above are a sample of the headlines we found.
Now, let's move to the final step of the plan: Extract and return the last 10 news headlines. We will extract the text from the last 10 headline elements and return them.
# Get the last 10 headlines
last_10_headlines = [headline.text.strip() for headline in headlines[-10:]]
last_10_headlines
['How old is too old to lead?', 'The companies staying fully remote', "A 'beach towel revolt' sweeping Greece", 'Sexton breaks record as eight-try Ireland beat Tonga',
'Wales struggle past Portugal at World Cup', 'Brighton beat Man Utd as fans boo Ten Hag', 'Barcelona crush Betis to go top', 'Sainz on Singapore pole as angry Verstappen
struggles', "'We have a good vibe' - Ten Hag avoids Sancho questioning", 'Newcastle beat Brentford to ease pressure on Howe']
Here are the last 10 BBC news headlines:
1 'How old is too old to lead?'
2 'The companies staying fully remote'
3 "A 'beach towel revolt' sweeping Greece"
4 'Sexton breaks record as eight-try Ireland beat Tonga'
5 'Wales struggle past Portugal at World Cup'
6 'Brighton beat Man Utd as fans boo Ten Hag'
7 'Barcelona crush Betis to go top'
8 'Sainz on Singapore pole as angry Verstappen struggles'
9 "'We have a good vibe' - Ten Hag avoids Sancho questioning"
10 'Newcastle beat Brentford to ease pressure on Howe'Can you create a PDF file with these 10 BBC news headlines to finish the test?
> can you crate a pdf file with this 10 BBC news headlines?
Sure, we can create a PDF file with these headlines. We will use the Python library reportlab for this purpose. Here is the plan:
1 Install the necessary Python package (reportlab) if it is not already installed.
2 Create a PDF file using reportlab and add the headlines to it.
3 Save the PDF file.
Let's start with the first step, which is to check if the necessary Python package is installed. If not, we will install it.
REQUIRED_PACKAGES = ['reportlab']
for package in REQUIRED_PACKAGES:
try:
dist = pkg_resources.get_distribution(package)
print('{} ({}) is installed'.format(dist.key, dist.version))
except pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound:
print('{} is NOT installed'.format(package))
reportlab (4.0.4) is installed
Great! The 'reportlab' package is already installed.
Now, let's move to the next step of the plan: Create a PDF file using reportlab and add the headlines to it. We will create a new PDF file, add each headline as a separate
paragraph, and then save the PDF file.
from reportlab.lib.pagesizes import letter
from reportlab.pdfgen import canvas
from reportlab.lib.units import inch
# Create a new PDF file
c = canvas.Canvas('BBC_headlines.pdf', pagesize=letter)
# Set the font and size
c.setFont('Helvetica', 12)
# Add each headline as a separate paragraph
y = 750 # Start from the top of the page
for i, headline in enumerate(last_10_headlines, 1):
c.drawString(50, y, f'{i}. {headline}')
y -= 25 # Move down for the next headline
# Save the PDF file
c.save()
The PDF file 'BBC_headlines.pdf' with the last 10 BBC news headlines has been created successfully. You can find it in the current working directory (D:\interpreter).
It’s fantastic. Can you imagine how many things you can do with this?
They also have a Google Colab version with many examples of use.
