[2024] Releasing version 1.0.0

[amotl]

About

We are intending to release crate-python 1.0.0. SQLAlchemy users need to pay attention, all others should be largely unaffected.

Upgrade Notes

• The most prominent change is that the SQLAlchemy dialect has been split off into the sqlalchemy-cratedb
  package. The SQLAlchemy dialect is no longer part of the crate package.
  [2024] Migration to sqlalchemy-cratedb #620

• For all other users, the update should not have any significant impact, if at all.
  To read up on any details, please consult the change log.

• The transition to new-style namespace packages should not affect any users of this package.

Validation

The pre-release package crate-1.0.0.dev2 has been validated on a bunch of downstream projects that consume it.
It also has been validated on Python 3.6 - 3.13 together with the most recent versions of crash and sqlalchemy-cratedb.

• Dependencies: Use more relaxed dependency pinning, to reduce Dependabot activity. Use crate>=1.0.0.dev2 for validation purposes. cratedb-examples#716

What's Inside

A few more chore updates have been staged to properly prepare the upcoming 1.0.0 release.

• Testing: Refactor software tests into dedicated directory tests #659
• QA and CI: Format code using ruff. Validate using ruff and mypy. #660
• Sandbox: Optionally use uv package manager to save cycles #661
• CI: Use CrateDB nightly for PRs on Linux, lock version only on macOS #662
• Error handling: Use ValueError exceptions instead of assert #663
• Dependencies: Remove version pinning of urllib3 and verlib2 #664
• Python: Migrate to use "implicit namespace packages" (PEP 420) #666
• Timestamp values: Remove the use of "naive" Python datetime objects #667

Internal Adjustments

On a few CrateDB Python projects that populate the crate package namespace, relevant adjustments have been submitted. This section is only relevant for authors of those.

We are enumerating them here to give you an idea what may need to be changed if you are observing similar obstacles, mostly related to the transition to new-style namespace packages.

• Python: Migrate to use "implicit namespace packages" (PEP 420) #666
• Harmonize with crate-1.0.0: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'crate.client' crash#447
• Python: Migrate to use "implicit namespace packages" (PEP 420) crash#448
• Python: Migrate to use "implicit namespace packages" (PEP 420). Dependencies: Use crate>=1.0.0.dev2 for validation purposes. CI: Use Python 3.11, up from 3.8. crate-qa#326
