lancedb/python/AGENTS.md

These are the Python bindings of LanceDB. The core Rust library is in the ../rust/lancedb directory, the rust binding code is in the src/ directory and the Python bindings are in the lancedb/ directory.

Common commands:

• Build: make develop
• Format: make format
• Lint: make check
• Fix lints: make fix
• Test: make test
• Doc test: make doctest

Before committing changes, run lints and then formatting.

When you change the Rust code, you will need to recompile the Python bindings: make develop.

When you export new types from Rust to Python, you must manually update python/lancedb/_lancedb.pyi with the corresponding type hints. You can run pyright to check for type errors in the Python code.
