Wyatt Alt 90b3715975 python: create_index returns Job / AsyncJob (ENT-1966)
Table.create_index, create_scalar_index, create_fts_index, and the
materialized-view delegates now return a Job (AsyncJob on AsyncTable).
When the server defers the build (pending vector index), the returned
job tracks it through the platform jobs API; synchronous builds (scalar,
FTS, native tables, GPU-accelerated local paths) return a pre-completed
job whose status()/wait() report finished immediately and whose cancel()
is a no-op. AsyncTable now carries its owning connection so the async
handles can reach the jobs API. wait_timeout keeps working; docs steer
new code to job.wait().

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)
