launchdarkly-server-sdk 7.0.0 on Python PyPI

[7.0.0] - 2020-10-28

This major release is for Python compatibility updates and removal of deprecated APIs. It introduces no new functionality except type hints.

Added type hints to all SDK methods. Python by itself does not enforce these, but commonly used development tools can provide static checking to trigger warnings or errors if the wrong type is used.

Python 2.7, 3.3, and 3.4 are no longer supported. The minimum Python version is now 3.5.
The first parameter to the Config constructor, sdk_key, is now required. Previously it was possible to omit the sdk_key from the Config and specify it separately when initializing the SDK. Now, it is always in the Config.

Removed ldclient.set_sdk_key(). The correct way to do this now, if you are using the singleton client method ldclient.get(), is to call ldclient.set_config() with a Config object that contains the SDK key.
Removed the optional SDK key parameter from the LDClient constructor. You must now provide a configuration parameter of type Config, and set the SDK key within the Config constructor: LDClient(Config(sdk_key = "my-sdk-key", [any other config options])). Previously, it was possible to specify the SDK key as a single string parameter and omit the Config object—LDClient("my-sdk-key")—although this would cause a deprecation warning to be logged; specifying both a key and a Config was always an error.
Removed the individual HTTP-related parameters such as connect_timeout from the Config type. The correct way to set these now is with the HTTPConfig sub-configuration object: Config(sdk_key = "my-sdk-key", http = HTTPConfig(connect_timeout = 10)).
Removed all other types, parameters, and methods that were deprecated as of the last 6.x release.
