Over nine months, Planablediglet modernized and extended the planetlabs/planet-client-python repository, focusing on API client development, CLI enhancements, and robust release management. They migrated the build system to pyproject.toml, improved dependency management, and refactored core APIs for better encapsulation and maintainability using Python and Bash. Their work included delivering async and sync variants for the Mosaics API client, refining spatial data search with geometry relations, and enhancing onboarding through documentation updates. By addressing critical bugs and improving CI/CD workflows, Planablediglet ensured greater reliability and usability, demonstrating depth in asynchronous programming, integration testing, and command line interface development.

May 1, 2025May 2025 performance summary for planetlabs/planet-client-python. Key features delivered include the initial release of the Mosaics API client and CLI, plus groundwork for async/sync variants and robust error handling. A core API client refactor introduces a base client, utilities to convert async iterators to sync, improved typing for _call_sync, and a more robust Session lifecycle with lazy event loop handling. CI/CD adjustments relaxed the test coverage threshold to 90% to stabilize pipelines. A dependency stability fix pinned/remedied a problematic click version to resolve test failures.

Dec 1, 2024December 2024: Delivered an internal API encapsulation change for planet-client-python by marking call_sync as an internal API across data, orders, subscriptions clients and the core HTTP session. This refactor promotes encapsulation, reduces the surface area exposed to external users, and sets the foundation for safer, faster internal evolutions of the API. No major bugs fixed are recorded for this period. Overall, the work improves maintainability, stability, and future extensibility of the client library.

Nov 1, 2024November 2024 focused on improving the Planet SDK Python release process and onboarding through documentation enhancements and alignment with Git-based versioning. Delivered clear guidance on how version numbers are detected from git tags and how versions are computed when not on a tag, and streamlined onboarding by removing the outdated 'early access' page, increasing the minimum supported Python version to 3.9, and relocating the 'Get Help' section to the Quick Start guide. These changes reduce onboarding time, improve developer experience, and align documentation with CI/CD practices. No major customer-facing feature work or bug fixes were completed this month beyond documentation improvements.
