Google Cloud Python tools sync lint and format

By RepoJournal · Filed · About Google

The googleapis/google-cloud-python repo closed a gap where code could pass lint checks but fail after running the formatter, tightening consistency for generated libraries.

The googleapis/google-cloud-python repo closed a gap where code could pass lint checks but fail after running the formatter. The fix [1] adds an import-ordering check to lint, and the pre-commit config now includes a `ruff-format` hook [2], so local commits and CI lint agree. This synchronization rolls out to generated libraries after the next generation cycle. On the JAX side, a fix [3] repairs the transitive dependency graph error that was breaking `bazel mod show_repo --all_repos`, restoring an important debugging tool. The python-genai SDK added a `destination` parameter to `client.files.download` [4] to support streaming downloads to disk or file-like objects, and exposed `ProcessingCallStep` and `ProcessingResultStep` in the Interactions SDK [5].
