[FEATURE] more Pythonic way of populating function params

[Clement-Lelievre]

Suggestion: how about leveraging Python dunders to better fill in the functions parameter of the request rather than hardcoding it? It'd be more Pythonic and maintainable. (This assumes that the function signature contains a docstring and type hints (so, is incompatible with lambdas).)

• name: use the function name dunder (i.e. <function_name>.__name__) (there could be a use case for this, e.g. if filtering on the keys of globals() / locals() )
• description : use the function documentation dunder (i.e. <function_name>.__doc__)
• parameters : use the function annotations dunder (i.e. <function_name>.__annotations__) to populate the argument types via a pre-built mapping
• can also use __kwdefaults__ to populate automatically the default values of kwargs
• etc.

This could also be implemented in the function-calling guide

you can pass a pydantic schema to the function calling like this:

import openai
from pydantic import BaseModel, Field

class GeoSchema(BaseModel):
    latitude: float = Field(..., description="The latitude component")
    longitude : float = Field(..., description="The longitude component")

result = openai.ChatCompletetion.create(
        model="gpt-3.5-turbo",
        messages = [
          {"role": "system" , "content": "You are a helpful Tour planning AI"},
          {"role": "user", "content": "come up with a random location"}
       ],
        functions=[{
            "name": "random_place_finder", # this is your function name
            "description": "gives the latitude and longitude of a random place on earth",
            "parameters": GeoSchema.model_json_schema()
        }],
        function_call={"name": "random_place_finder"},
        temperature=1)

Hi @SupreethRao99

thanks for the reply.

This looks to me more like an alternative/way to complement my proposal than a definitive enhancement, as your proposal still hardcodes the function name and description.
