## SDK Version 1.17.1 Release Notes

Version 1.17.1 of the Benchling SDK is a bugfix release with no new features.

### What's changing?

### Fixed

* Fixed a problem in the SDK's module import behavior that made it incompatible with frameworks that get or set custom attributes on modules. A common example is the test method `unittest.TestCase.assertWarns()`, which would fail with a `KeyError` if any SDK model classes had been imported.

Version 1.17.1 of the Benchling SDK is now live! Find the SDK in [PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/benchling-sdk/1.17.1/) .
