Tristan Zajonc 10fa23e0d6 fix(python): expose register function in embeddings module (#2544)
## Summary
Fixes #2541

**Problem**: The `register` function was not accessible via `from
lancedb.embeddings import register` as documented, causing ImportError
for users trying to create custom embedding functions.

**Solution**: Added `register` to the exports in
`python/lancedb/embeddings/__init__.py` to match the documented API and
follow the same pattern as other registry functions (`get_registry`,
`EmbeddingFunctionRegistry`).

**Root Cause**: The function existed in `lancedb.embeddings.registry`
but wasn't exposed through the main embeddings module interface.

## Changes
- Add `register` to imports in
`/python/python/lancedb/embeddings/__init__.py`

## Test Plan
- [x] Verified `from lancedb.embeddings import register` works as
documented
- [x] Confirmed existing embedding tests pass
- [x] Checked that the fix follows existing patterns (same as
`get_registry`)
- [x] Validated linting and formatting passes

A Python library for LanceDB.

Installation

pip install lancedb

Preview Releases

Stable releases are created about every 2 weeks. For the latest features and bug fixes, you can install the preview release. These releases receive the same level of testing as stable releases, but are not guaranteed to be available for more than 6 months after they are released. Once your application is stable, we recommend switching to stable releases.

pip install --pre --extra-index-url https://pypi.fury.io/lancedb/ lancedb

Usage

Basic Example

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)
