DashScope Python SDK v2.0.4: CLI 2.0 and a Brand New Command-Line Architecture

We've just shipped v2.0.4 of the DashScope Python SDK. The headline of this release is a major architectural overhaul of the dashscope CLI, plus a round of bug fixes and polish. Here's what's new.

🚀 CLI 2.0: A brand new command-line architecture

• Unified entry point — dashscope is now the primary entry point for both the new 2.0 CLI and legacy 1.x functionality. Legacy behavior remains available via dashscope1 for backward compatibility, so existing scripts keep working.
• Full command coverage — the v2 CLI ships with a comprehensive set of commands, including chat and models, bringing a rich interactive experience directly to your terminal.
• Built for extensibility — a clean, modular architecture designed to make new commands and capabilities easy to add and maintain.

⚠️ Note: CLI 2.0 is actively under development. It's already feature-rich, and we're continuing to iterate on the design and add more capabilities. Feedback and contributions are very welcome — reply below or open an Ideas discussion.

🐛 Bug fixes

• Top-level auth shortcuts — authentication shortcuts now work correctly from the top-level CLI.
• Typer compatibility — exceptions from the typer compatibility layer are no longer misclassified, improving error handling and debugging.
• Click 8.2 compatibility — added support for click 8.2 CliRunner parameter changes.
• ANSI code stripping — fixed test_package_layout to strip ANSI escape codes before assertions, improving test reliability.

🔧 Improvements

• Renamed the default User-Agent product token for clarity and consistency.
• Unified code formatting with consistent trailing commas across the codebase.

🏗️ CI/CD

• Pinned the Python 3.9 test leg to ubuntu-24.04 for stability and reproducibility.
