[Bug] Incompatible change: array[float] no longer accepted by type signature #511

Is this a new bug?
In pinecone-client 5.0.1, an array[float] could be used when creating indexes.

In version 7.0.2, this may still work in practice with type-checking overridden; however, the type definitions indicate that only List[float] is permitted, and array does not satisfy List, so previously-legal values are no longer accepted.

  • I believe this is a new bug
  • I have searched the existing Github issues and Community Forum, and I could not find an existing post for this bug

Steps to reproduce the issue locally

Run the following code through type-checking with pyright:

from array import array
import pinecone

embedding_bytes = b'' # in real-world scenarios this of course will be non-empty
embedding_arr = array("f", embedding_bytes)

pc = pinecone.Pinecone()
idx = pc.Index(name="test")
idx.upsert(vectors=[("name", embedding_arr)])

It will fail as follows:

error: Argument of type "list[tuple[str, array[float]]]" cannot be assigned to parameter "vectors" of type "List[Vector] | List[VectorTuple] | List[VectorTupleWithMetadata] | List[VectorTypedDict]" in function "upsert"
    "tuple[str, array[float]]" is not assignable to "Vector" (reportArgumentType)
1 error, 0 warnings, 0 informations
