Remaining blockers for Python client

[abidlabs]

From #3300, here are the remaining TODOs for the Gradio Python client:

Necessary

• add a changelog for the client library -- @abidlabs
• add to view API page -- @aliabd
• Files should be uploaded via /upload -- @freddyaboulton
• Add a Guide for using the python client -- @abidlabs & @aliabd
• rate limit public Spaces, and display a meaningful error when rate limited (ideally saying something like you can duplicate this Space and make it private to avoid being rate limited)
• add documentation for this on the website (@aliabd)
• add support for iterators -- right now iterators return a meaningless update as a result @freddyaboulton
• add a way to get the status of a job @freddyaboulton
• add ability to inspect and quick get an idea of how to use each of the API endpoints for a given gradio app, including unnamed endpoints
• add more tests @freddyaboulton
• add to the changelog
• clarify that callbacks are executed sequentially
• Session management / a method to reset session
• add new version release GH action
• add analytics
• Document that the HF token is pulled if you are logged in via HF CLI
• __repr__ returns error
• Support passing in images as numpy arrays / pil images (note: I don't think we should do this in the client)
• Paths to files / images are confusing. Can we display them instead?
• "/predict" instead of "predict"
• we shouldn't assume fn_index=0

Added my name to some of the tasks @abidlabs

Thank you so much @freddyaboulton!

We should add a CHANGELOG for the clients, no?

[abidlabs]

👍 sounds good, added to the list

JS client already has one, fully automated: https://github.com/gradio-app/gradio/blob/8eec0541b281c1adb968b8100c0d7d16d7eab1a2/client/js/CHANGELOG.md

[freddyaboulton]

I think upload limits should be set at the app level and not the client level. Right now the app doesn't set upload limits (not saying that's a good idea) but it'd be weird if there was that inconsistency between the client and app.

@abidlabs Is support for spaces with auth on the roadmap?

[abidlabs]

Yes let's create a separate issue for that and the other nice-to-haves because they are not blockers to launch (I can create the issues)

[abidlabs]

Renamed so that this issue is only focused on the blockers

[abidlabs]

Everything except rate limiting is complete, congrats everyone 🥳

Will close since rate limiting is a moon-landing issue, not a gradio issue
