Question 1

How to upload files with PocketBase Python SDK?

Accepted Answer

Use the FileUpload helper in the create method, passing a tuple with the filename and file object, like FileUpload(('image.png', open('image.png', 'rb'))), as shown in the README example for easy integration.

Question 2

PocketBase Python SDK vs JavaScript SDK: which should I use?

Accepted Answer

Choose based on your project's primary language: the Python SDK offers a native, pythonic interface for Python apps, while the JavaScript SDK is more mature and widely supported. If you're building in Python, this SDK saves time over custom solutions.

Question 3

Is PocketBase Python SDK async compatible?

Accepted Answer

It uses HTTPX, which supports async, but the README doesn't provide explicit async examples; you may need to refer to HTTPX's documentation for advanced async usage, potentially adding complexity.

Question 4

Can I disable the automatic key conversion in PocketBase Python SDK?

Accepted Answer

Yes, set auto_snake_case=False when creating the client (e.g., Client(auto_snake_case=False)) to preserve original API key names, offering flexibility for projects with specific naming conventions.

Question 5

What Python versions does PocketBase Python SDK support?

Accepted Answer

Requires Python 3.9+ for local development, as stated in the README, so ensure your environment is compatible, especially if working with older Python versions.

Question 6

How do I run tests for PocketBase Python SDK?

Accepted Answer

Use poetry run pytest after setting up a sandbox PocketBase instance on localhost:8090, as detailed in the README, which includes real-world integration testing but adds setup steps.
