What’s new?

Remove unnecessary data in the payload when combining related queries before sending it to the server. This would improve overall performance decreasing network latency and server processing.

Affected methods

  • find
  • summarize
  • text_search (API query_display_name_cache)

Detailed Description

The change should transform calls like:

sg.find('Asset', [['project', 'is', {'created_at': datetime.datetime(2015, 12, 16, 11, 2, 10, tzinfo), 'id': 72, 'name': 'Demo: Game', 'type': 'Project'}]])

as if the following had been called:

sg.find('Asset', [['project', 'is', {'id': 72, 'type': 'Project'}]])

This version also includes a new environmental variable to enable this feature. Please use it at initialization if you want to compare results or if you are getting any unexpected behavior.

export SHOTGUN_API_ENABLE_ENTITY_OPTIMIZATION=1

This is an experimental feature. Feel free to disable this feature if you are experiencing any issues.

Any news on python 3.12 / 3.13 support?

Sg follows the VFX Reference Platform so if the VFX Reference Platform decides that a future version will be using Python 3.12 then Sg will also upgrade its components/software to v3.12.

I would advice you to keep track of the VFX Reference Platform and not deviate from it if you want to have an easy life with all the VFX software/DCC’s you may use in your pipeline.
