CookBook based on Python is not working

[gloomyrobot]

https://github.com/github/copilot-sdk/blob/main/cookbook/python/recipe/persisting_sessions.py

The source code for the above repository, based on Python, does not work.

The SDK functions either require await or have parameters structured differently, using class. (copilot-sdk version v0.1.17)

Thank you for reporting this issue! You're absolutely correct—the persisting_sessions.py cookbook example is outdated and doesn't match the current Python SDK implementation.

Issue confirmed:

• The cookbook uses synchronous code (client.start(), session.send(), etc.)
• The Python SDK is fully asynchronous and requires await with all methods
• Methods like list_sessions(), delete_session(), and resume_session() do exist in the SDK but must be called with await

Labels applied:

• bug — Incorrect example code
• documentation — Cookbook needs updating
• sdk/python — Python-specific issue

This is related to issues #118, #130, and #143 which report similar problems with Python cookbook examples. The cookbook needs to be updated to use the async/await pattern throughout.
