Over six months, Planablediglet enhanced the planetlabs/planet-client-python repository by developing and refining core API clients, including the initial Mosaics API client and CLI, and improving both asynchronous and synchronous workflows using Python and Asyncio. Their work emphasized robust error handling, encapsulation of internal APIs, and maintainable code through targeted refactoring and dependency management. They addressed critical issues such as infinite recursion in the sync client and improved onboarding and documentation for new users. By focusing on CI/CD stability, code quality, and precise data handling, Planablediglet delivered features and fixes that improved reliability, developer experience, and long-term extensibility.

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are detected from git tags and how versions are computed when not on a tag, and streamlined onboarding by removing the outdated 'early access' page, increasing the minimum supported Python version to 3.9, and relocating the 'Get Help' section to the Quick Start guide.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.
