Will Jones e3d53dd185 fix(python): skip test_url_retrieve_downloads_image when PIL not installed (#3208)
The test added in #3190 unconditionally imports `PIL`, which is an
optional dependency. This causes CI failures in environments where
Pillow isn't installed (`ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'PIL'`).

Use `pytest.importorskip` to skip gracefully when Pillow is unavailable.

Fixes CI failure on main.

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)
