Adds a new function
pyiceberg.catalog.list_catalogs() -> List[str]
to list all known catalogs.Rationale for this change
In creating a pyiceberg-backed API, one must either duplicate the config-parsing logic or access private data in order to know what catalogs are available in the env. I believe that this logic should be part of the library.
Are these changes tested?
Yes
Are there any user-facing changes?
Yes, knew public function in
pyiceberg.catalog
