Python SDK: `select` parameter of `where` forces certain fields to be included

[ccecora]

Hi all!

Running into an issue with the where method. If I use the select parameter, I get the following stack trace when including a small subset of fields:

from pokemontcgsdk import Set

Set.where(select="id,name")

DefaultValueNotFoundError                 Traceback (most recent call last)
File ~/.local/share/virtualenvs/TCDB-rYsgZGZb/lib/python3.12/site-packages/dacite/core.py:72, in from_dict(data_class, data, config)
     71 try:
---> 72     value = get_default_value_for_field(field, field_type)
     73 except DefaultValueNotFoundError:

File ~/.local/share/virtualenvs/TCDB-rYsgZGZb/lib/python3.12/site-packages/dacite/dataclasses.py:21, in get_default_value_for_field(field, type_)
     20     return None
---> 21 raise DefaultValueNotFoundError()

DefaultValueNotFoundError: 

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

MissingValueError                         Traceback (most recent call last)

     61     response = [self.transform(i) for i in response]
---> 63 list.extend([from_dict(self.type, item) for item in response])
     65 if fetch_all:
     66     self.params['page'] += 1

     74         if not field.init:
     75             continue
---> 76         raise MissingValueError(field.name)
     77 if field.init:
     78     init_values[field.name] = value

MissingValueError: missing value for field "images"

If I keep adding fields to the select parameter that are deemed missing in each subsequent stacktrace, I will eventually get a success:

Set.where(select="id,name,images,legalities,printedTotal,releaseDate,series,total,updatedAt")

[
   Set(id='base2', images=SetImage(symbol='https://images.pokemontcg.io/base2/symbol.png', logo='https://images.pokemontcg.io/base2/logo.png'), legalities=Legality(unlimited='Legal', expanded=None, standard=None), name='Jungle', printedTotal=64, ptcgoCode=None, releaseDate='1999/06/16', series='Base', total=64, updatedAt='2020/08/14 09:35:00'),
   Set(id='ecard2', images=SetImage(symbol='https://images.pokemontcg.io/ecard2/symbol.png', logo='https://images.pokemontcg.io/ecard2/logo.png'), legalities=Legality(unlimited='Legal', expanded=None, standard=None), name='Aquapolis', printedTotal=147, ptcgoCode=None, releaseDate='2003/01/15', series='E-Card', total=182, updatedAt='2020/08/14 09:35:00'),
   ...
]

My suspicion is that these fields are mandatory. Does not seem like this functionality is intentional, maybe worth mentioning what fields must be entered by default in the meantime?

It's been year since this post, but I'm having a similar problem, although for me the mandatory fields are only id, name, images, legalities, set, and supertype.

I'll second that I think for some reason these fields are mandatory. Hope someone with more know-how than I sees this and can figure out what's up.
