# LanceDB
A Python library for [LanceDB](https://github.com/lancedb/lancedb).
## Installation
```bash
pip install lancedb
```
## Usage
### Basic Example
```python
import lancedb
db = lancedb.connect('<PATH_TO_LANCEDB_DATASET>')
table = db.open_table('my_table')
results = table.search([0.1, 0.3]).limit(20).to_list()
print(results)
```
## Development
Create a virtual environment and activate it:
```bash
python -m venv venv
. ./venv/bin/activate
```
Install the necessary packages:
```bash
python -m pip install .
```
To run the unit tests:
```bash
pytest
```
To run linter and automatically fix all errors:
```bash
ruff format python
ruff --fix python
```
If any packages are missing, install them with:
```bash
pip install <PACKAGE_NAME>
```
___
For **Windows** users, there may be errors when installing packages, so these commands may be helpful:
Activate the virtual environment:
```bash
. .\venv\Scripts\activate
```
You may need to run the installs separately:
```bash
pip install -e .[tests]
pip install -e .[dev]
```
`tantivy` requires `rust` to be installed, so install it with `conda`, as it doesn't support windows installation:
```bash
pip install wheel
pip install cargo
conda install rust
pip install tantivy
```
To run the unit tests:
```bash
pytest
```
