Snowflake URI utility library that supports extraction of Snowflake configuration data and method parameters from Snowflake resource URIs.
When applications that employ the Snowflake Python SDK must work with resources that are spread across multiple accounts, it can be useful to tie Snowflake configuration information (both credentials and resource data) directly tot associated Snowflake resources (e.g., by including the configuration data within URIs). This library provides a class that extracts Snowflake configuration data and method parameters from a URI, offering a succint syntax for passing (directly into Snowflake methods) configuration data and/or resource names that are included within URIs.
The package is available on PyPI:
python -m pip install sfu
The sfu class can be imported with:
from sfu import sfu
The class provides methods for extracting configuration data (credentials and non-credentials) from URIs, as in the examples below:
>>> from sfu import sfu
>>> import snowflake.connector
# Create a connector client given a URI (for a table in some snowflake database) that
# includes credentials (a username 'ABC', a password 'XYZ', and an associated account
# 'UVW').
# Make sure the account contains the region and platform, e.g., xxx.us-east-1.aws.
>>> s = sfu("snow://ABC:XYZ:UVW@DATABASE")
>>> conn = connector.connect(**s.credentials())
# It can also be useful to bind a connection to some database and some data processing
# warehouse, so you don't need to execute cursor commands later. The following will
# return a connector client that is configured against DATABASE, using WH for data
# processing.
>>> uri = "snow://ABC:XYZ:UVW@DATABASE/TABLE@warehouse=WH"
>>> s = sfu(uri)
>>> c = connector.connect(**s.for_connection())
>>> cs = c.cursor()
>>> cs.execute(f"SELECT col1,col2 FROM {s.for_table()}")
# Note that this is equivalent to the following:
>>> s = sfu(uri)
>>> c = connector.connect(**s.credentials())
>>> cs = c.cursor()
>>> cs.execute(f"USE DATABASE {s.for_db()}")
>>> cs.execute(f"USE WAREHOUSE {s.for_warehouse()}")
>>> cs.execute(f"SELECT col1,col2 FROM {s.for_table()}")
Pipenv is used for dependency management of the main library, minus Read the Docs which does not support Pipenv. You can install all dependencies with:
pipenv install --dev
To release a new version of the library, run:
pipenv run python -m pip install --upgrade build twine pipenv run python -m build pipenv run python -m twine upload dist/*
The documentation can be generated automatically from the source files using Sphinx:
python -m pip install -e . cd docs python -m pip install -r requirements.txt sphinx-apidoc -f -E --templatedir=_templates -o _source .. && make html
All unit tests are executed and their coverage is measured when using pytest:
pipenv run python -m pytest --cov=sfu --cov-report term-missing
Style conventions are enforced using Pylint:
pipenv run python -m flake8 src/sfu
