The server now serializes an index's `created_at` as an RFC 3339 string
(e.g. `"2026-06-18T21:37:36.637Z"`), but the client deserializer only
accepted a unix timestamp in milliseconds. This caused `list_indices` to
fail with:
```
Failed to parse list_indices response: invalid type: string "2026-06-18T21:37:36.637Z", expected a unix timestamp in milliseconds
```
This PR replaces the fixed millisecond deserializer with a custom one
that accepts both an RFC 3339 string (current server) and a
unix-millisecond integer (legacy deployments), so the client works
against any server version.
It also improves the `IndexConfig` repr in the Python bindings.
Previously it printed only three fields (`Index(FTS, columns=["text"],
name="text_idx")`), hiding the metadata that `list_indices` returns. It
now renders every populated field, omitting any that are `None`. Each
value is valid Python — integer counts use `_` thousands separators and
`created_at` uses the `datetime` repr — so values round-trip. The real
repr is a single line; it's wrapped here for readability:
```python
>>> table.list_indices()
[IndexConfig(
name="text_idx",
index_type="FTS",
columns=["text"],
index_uuid="aefd3e00-2f95-4bdc-92ac-06de84442bf1",
type_url="/lance.table.InvertedIndexDetails",
created_at=datetime.datetime(2026, 6, 18, 21, 37, 36, 637000, tzinfo=datetime.timezone.utc),
num_indexed_rows=2,
size_bytes=3_669,
num_segments=1,
index_version=1,
index_details={
'lance_tokenizer': None,
'base_tokenizer': 'simple',
'language': 'English',
'with_position': False,
'max_token_length': 40,
'lower_case': True,

'custom_stop_words': None,

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)
