Description

Hi

It appears that the pylance python package and the lance-namespace python package depend on each other, which is a cyclical dependency. This breaks several tooling, including bazel rules_python, and overall cyclical dependencies are just not a good idea, can the core features lance-namespace depends on just be extracted out?
