Use it to create and manage indexes, upsert and query vectors, and run inference operations from Python. Requires Python 3.10+. Installation For development dependencies (testing, type checking, linting): Quick start Async usage The SDK provides an async client for use with asyncio : Configuration API key Pass the API key directly or set the PINECONE API KEY environment variable: Custom host Connect to a specific control plane host: Timeout Configure request timeouts in seconds: Debug logging Enable debug logging by setting the PINECONE DEBUG environment variable: Development Setup Clone the repository and install dependencies with uv: Tests Retry/throttle smoke tests (opt-in) A suite of live-API smoke tests verifies that the retry stack and AIMD adaptive concurrency hold up against real Pinecone rate limits. These are not run in normal CI because they require real credentials, create a live serverless index, and take 1–3 minutes per run. Required environment variables: Variable Description --- --- PINECONE API KEY A valid Pinecone API key PINECONE RETRY SMOKE Set to 1 to enable the smoke tests Running the smoke tests: Cost: Each run creates three serverless indexes, upserts 100K vectors per index, then deletes all indexes. Total cost is under $3 per run. When to run: Before any release that touches retry logic, HTTP transport, the AIMD adaptive-concurrency limiter ( pinecone. inte","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/pinecone-io","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/pinecone-io/python-sdk/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
