Ayush Chaurasia 2fa4d04de7 feat(python): align with_format("torch") with HuggingFace semantics
- New "torch" format yields list-of-per-row-dicts whose values are torch
  tensors. PyTorch DataLoader's default collate stacks these into a
  dict[str, Tensor] per batch — matching HuggingFace
  dataset.set_format("torch") and removing the need for a custom collate_fn.
- The previous "torch" behavior (list of 1-D row tensors without column
  names) moves to a new "torch_row" format.
- "torch_col" is unchanged (2-D tensor, requires custom collate).

LanceDB Python SDK

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)
