OpenAI Python 3.41.0 recovers queued binary frames after reconnect
OpenAI Python 3.41.0 adds typed references in Realtime response inputs, response tool-usage models and metadata filters for agent sessions. Its WebSocket client can also recover queued binary frames after reconnect; the examples now detect incomplete responses and handle push-to-talk interruptions. Upgrade Realtime clients that send audio or other binary frames, then force a disconnect with frames queued and confirm each frame is delivered once and the response is marked complete. 3
Relevant to: Python Realtime clients and services that query agent sessions by metadata.
