[Bug] Cannot create an index from a source collection in v3 about pinecone-python-client HOT 1 CLOSED

This is now possible as of v3.0.2 of the SDK:

Create indexes using source_collection option in PodSpec

This release resolves a bug when passing source_collection as part of the PodSpec. This option is used when creating a new index from vector data stored in a collection. The value of this field should be a collection you have created previously from an index and that shows with pc.list_collections(). Currently collections and pod-based indexes are not portable across environments.

from pinecone import Pinecone
pc = Pinecone(api_key='YOUR_API_KEY')

pc.create_index(
  name='my-index', 
  dimension=1536, 
  metric='cosine', 
  spec=PodSpec(
      environment='us-east1-gcp', 
      source_collection='collection-2024jan16',
  )
)

from pinecone-python-client.
