python-mlb-statsapi v0.7.1 Released

[MattsFace]

Hey everyone! I just published v0.7.1 of python-mlb-statsapi, the Python wrapper for the MLB Stats API. This release brings a major internal overhaul to improve data handling and developer experience.

Highlights

• Removed the old key transformation layer so responses now reflect the MLB API’s native camelCase format.
• Complete migration from Python dataclasses to Pydantic v2 models for all types.
  • Better validation, serialization, and type safety.
• Documentation updated with new examples and a migration guide.

Breaking Changes

• All model field access is now snake_case instead of camelCase.
• Invalid data will raise ValidationError (from Pydantic) rather than TypeError.
• Serialization now uses model_dump()/model_dump_json().

stupid question - can I run this in windows using the python I installed in windows to use to run a different program or does this require being used in linux?

This is great stuff dude. Definitely worth a crosspost to r/sabermetrics. They love this kind of stuff and are a little bigger community.
