Jack Ye d60d78d611 feat(python): add namespace_client() method to connection classes
Add namespace_client() method that returns the equivalent namespace client
for different connection types:
- Native storage (LanceDBConnection): returns DirectoryNamespace
- Namespace connection: returns the backing namespace client
- Enterprise connection (RemoteDBConnection): returns RestNamespace

Implementation uses a hybrid approach:
- Rust side exposes namespace_client_config() returning (impl, properties)
- Python side uses lance_namespace.connect() to construct the namespace

Changes:
- Add namespace_client_config() to Database trait and implementations
- Add PyO3 binding for namespace_client_config()
- Add namespace_client() to DBConnection, LanceDBConnection, AsyncConnection
- Add namespace_client() to RemoteDBConnection
- Add namespace_client() to LanceNamespaceDBConnection and async variant
- Add tests for namespace_client() functionality
- Update pylance dependency to >=5.0.0b5

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)

Development
