Release 1.7.3

Release Date: 08-December-2017
Install Instructions: pip install --upgrade synapseclient or see http://docs.synapse.org/python/#installation
Documentation: http://docs.synapse.org/python/

Release 1.7.3 introduces fixes and quality of life changes to Tables and synapseutils:

  • Changes to Tables:
    • You no longer have to include the etag column in your SQL query when using a tableQuery() to update File/Project Views. just SELECT the relevant columns and etags will be resolved automatically.
    • The new PartialRowSet class allows you to only have to upload changes to individual cells of a table instead of every row that had a value changed. It is recommended to use the PartialRowSet.from_mapping() classmethod instead of the PartialRowSet constructor.
  • Changes to synapseutils:
    • Improved documentation
    • You can now use ~ to refer to your home directory in your manifest.tsv

We also added improved debug logging and use Python's bulitin logging module instead of printing directly to sys.stderr
