Will Jones 726a4e0bc7 fix(python): pin pylance to 9.0.0rc1 preview build for datafusion 54 compat
pylance>=7,<8 is built against datafusion-ffi 53 and segfaults when
registering its FFILanceTableProvider with the datafusion 54 Python
package now required by lance v9. Pin to the 9.0.0rc1 preview build
from the lance-format fury.io index, which matches lance v9.0.0-rc.1
and declares datafusion>=54,<55 for its own tests.

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
