PyMilvus

Official Python SDK for Milvus, the open-source vector database. Has two coexisting APIs: the modern MilvusClient (recommended, introduced in 2.3) and the legacy ORM API (connections.connect + Collection class). Both currently work but LLM-generated and tutorial code overwhelmingly uses the old ORM patterns. Milvus Lite (embedded SQLite-based local mode) is available via the milvus-lite extra on Linux/macOS only. Server version must be kept in sync with client minor version.
