3LC Python Package Version 2.21¶

2.21.3¶

[16800] Removed use of undeclared dependency pytz by replacing it with use of built-in datetime.timezone
- pytz was not declared as a direct dependency of 3lc but had been available because it was a transitive dependency of pandas, which is declared as a direct dependency of 3lc
- Recently released pandas 3.0.0 dropped its dependency on pytz, which meant pytz was no longer installed as an indirect dependency when installing 3lc in fresh environments
- This resulted in a ModuleNotFoundError prior to this fix

[16721] Added check that input to TableWriter.add_batch is a sequence and not a single value
[16792] Fixed an issue where Tables loaded from extra_table_scan_urls incorrectly emitted warnings that they were ‘not discoverable’

[16372] Made it so that context is recorded when a license is activated to distinguish between object service and general Python package usage
[16246] Made it so that context is recorded for account operations to distinguish between object service, dashboard, and general Python package usage
[16682] Fix path bulk data relativization for metrics data
[16681] Made a fix that removes warnings about deducing project root during TableWriter batch processing

- Added input_tables: Optional list of Tables or URLs to Tables to refer to as the input tables for the squashed table. By default, no tables are referred to as inputs.
- Added reasonable defaults if no location info is provided

[16408] MetricsCollection: use default values for ForeignTableId and constants
[16408] Copy all attributes from override schemas
[11811] Make TableWriter automatically manage bulk data context to improve usability
[16366] Raise error early if argument to from_url is not a str or Url
[16489] Allow for str and convert to Url for input_url in several derived Table types
