wbdata v1.1

[OliverSherouse]

This pull request introduces several major updates to the project’s packaging, development workflow, and codebase. The most significant changes are a migration from Poetry to PEP 621 and Hatchling for packaging, the adoption of uv for dependency management and publishing, and the modernization of type annotations throughout the code. It also adds new documentation for repository guidelines and improves test coverage for date formatting.

Packaging and Dependency Management

• Migrated from Poetry to PEP 621-compliant pyproject.toml and switched the build backend to Hatchling, updating dependency and group specifications accordingly. (pyproject.toml) [1] [2]
• Replaced Poetry with uv for dependency installation, publishing, and workflow automation in CI files (publish.yaml, tests.yaml), and removed the .tool-versions file. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]

Development Workflow Modernization

• Updated supported Python versions to 3.10 and above in CI and configuration, and adjusted matrix builds to include newer Python versions. [1] [2]
• Added a comprehensive AGENTS.md with repository guidelines covering project structure, build/test commands, coding style, testing, commit/PR practices, and documentation standards.

Codebase Modernization

• Refactored type annotations to use Python 3.10+ syntax (e.g., str | None), replaced legacy Union and Dict types, and updated imports for collections.abc. (wbdata/client.py, wbdata/cache.py) [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14]
• Improved cache handling by updating return types and removing unused imports. (wbdata/cache.py) [1] [2] [3]
• Minor code improvements: added lru_cache to get_default_client, fixed pandas import fallback, and made SearchResult inherit from list instead of List. (wbdata/__init__.py, wbdata/client.py) [1] [2] [3]

Testing Improvements

• Added parameterized tests for bad date inputs and improved coverage for date formatting. (tests/test_dates.py)
• Updated test fetcher to use strict zip for response validation. (tests/test_fetcher.py)

These changes collectively modernize the project’s packaging and development practices, streamline dependency management, and improve code clarity and test coverage.

These changes contribute to #74 and #71
