Pull request overview
Updates the Python OpenFeature provider documentation to make the setup and evaluation snippets correct and to remove incorrect pasted content, improving accuracy for users integrating DevCycle with OpenFeature in Python.
Changes:
- Switch the setup snippet to
api.set_provider_and_wait(...)and document why it’s preferred overset_provider(). - Fix the evaluation snippet to use
open_feature_client.get_boolean_value(...)(avoidsNameError). - Remove the incorrect Go context example and clean up formatting/unused import.
