Installing the Python Connector¶

To install the latest Python Connector for Snowflake, use:

pip install snowflake-connector-python

Copy

If you won’t use Snowflake on AWS, you can exclude the boto3 and botocore dependencies for AWS. These libraries take up both disk space and memory in the Python Connector, even when you don’t need them. To disable these libraries, set the SNOWFLAKE_NO_BOTO environment variable to true during installation:

..code-block:: bash

SNOWFLAKE_NO_BOTO=true pip install snowflake-connector-python

The source code for the Python driver is available on GitHub (https://github.com/snowflakedb/snowflake-connector-python).
