Python Client History

3.x Client Version

---

3.7

3.7.1

• Modifications

  • Connection Timeout Settings: You can now configure network timeout settings when initializing the Python client. The new timeout parameter in init() accepts:

    • A single number (in seconds) to set the connection timeout

    • A tuple of two numbers (in seconds) to set both connection and read timeouts separately

3.7.0

Release highlights:

• Robustness via retrying: this release introduces a persistent HTTP request retrying strategy to enhance fault tolerance in view of transient network problems and retryable HTTP request errors. You can take control of the maximum duration for which an HTTP request is retried by setting the environment variable FIDDLER_CLIENT_RETRY_MAX_DURATION_SECONDS.

• AWS SageMaker authentication support: to enable that, install version 2.236.0+ of the AWS Python SageMaker SDK. Then, before calling init(), set the environment variable AWS_PARTNER_APP_AUTH to true and set AWS_PARTNER_APP_ARN/AWS_PARTNER_APP_URL to meaningful values.

• Logging improvements: messages are now emitted to stderr instead of stdout. Only if the calling context does not configure a root logger this library will actively declare a handler for its own log messages (this automation can be disabled by setting auto_attach_log_handler=False during init()).

Compatibility changes:

• Pydantic 2.x is now supported (and compatibility with Pydantic 1.x has been retained).

• Support for Python 3.8 has been dropped.

API surface additions:

• Introduced Project.get_or_create() to reduce code required for instantiating a project.

• Introduced model.remove_column() to allow for removing a column from a model object.

Fixes:

• A transient error during a job status update does not prematurely terminate waiting for a job anymore.

• GET requests do not contain the Content-Type header anymore.

• New Features

  • General

    • Moving all functions of client to an Object oriented approach

    • Methods return resource object or a deserialized object wherever possible.

    • Support to search model, project, dataset, baselines by their names using from_name() method.

    • Concept of environments was introduced.

    • Ability to download slice data to a parquet file.

    • Publish dataframe as stream instead of batch.

    • New methods for baselines.

    • Multiple datasets can be added to a single model. Ability to choose which dataset to use for computing feature impact / importance, surrogate generation etc.

    • Model can be added without dataset.

    • Ability to generate schema for a model.

    • Model delete is async and returns job details.

    • Added cached properties for model: datasets, model_deployment.

  • Alerts

    • New methods for alerts: enable_notification, disable_notification, set_notification_config and get_notification_config.

  • Explainability

    • New methods in explainability: precompute_feature_impact, precompute_feature_importance, get_precomputed_feature_importance, get_precomputed_feature_impact, precompute_predictions.

    • Decoupled model artifact / surrogate upload and feature impact / importance pre-computation.

• Modifications
