Arguments

name

Name of the package to create.

Options

--ignore-anaconda

Does not lookup packages on Snowflake Anaconda channel. Default: False.

--index-url TEXT

Base URL of the Python Package Index to use for package lookup. This should point to a repository compliant with PEP 503 (the simple repository API) or a local directory laid out in the same format.

--skip-version-check

Skip comparing versions of dependencies between requirements and Anaconda. Default: False.

--allow-shared-libraries

Allows shared (.so) libraries, when using packages installed through PIP. Default: False.

--connection, -c, --environment TEXT

Name of the connection, as defined in your config.toml file. Default: default.

--host TEXT

Host address for the connection. Overrides the value specified for the connection.

--port INTEGER

Port for the connection. Overrides the value specified for the connection.

--account, --accountname TEXT

Name assigned to your Snowflake account. Overrides the value specified for the connection.

--user, --username TEXT

Username to connect to Snowflake. Overrides the value specified for the connection.

--password TEXT

Snowflake password. Overrides the value specified for the connection.

--authenticator TEXT

Snowflake authenticator. Overrides the value specified for the connection.

--private-key-file, --private-key-path TEXT

Snowflake private key file path. Overrides the value specified for the connection.

--token-file-path TEXT

Path to file with an OAuth token that should be used when connecting to Snowflake.

--database, --dbname TEXT

Database to use. Overrides the value specified for the connection.

--schema, --schemaname TEXT

Database schema to use. Overrides the value specified for the connection.

--role, --rolename TEXT

Role to use. Overrides the value specified for the connection.

--warehouse TEXT

Warehouse to use. Overrides the value specified for the connection.

--temporary-connection, -x

Uses connection defined with command line parameters, instead of one defined in config. Default: False.

--mfa-passcode TEXT

Token to use for multi-factor authentication (MFA).

--enable-diag

Run Python connector diagnostic test. Default: False.

--diag-log-path TEXT

Diagnostic report path. Default: <temporary_directory>.

--diag-allowlist-path TEXT

Diagnostic report path to optional allowlist.

--format [TABLE|JSON]

Specifies the output format. Default: TABLE.

--verbose, -v

Displays log entries for log levels info and higher. Default: False.

--debug

Displays log entries for log levels debug and higher; debug logs contain additional information. Default: False.

--silent

Turns off intermediate output to console. Default: False.

--help

Displays the help text for this command.

Usage notes

The snowpark package create command does the following:

  • Creates an artifact ready to upload to a stage.

  • Checks for native libraries and asks if you want to continue. If the native libraries are present in the downloaded packages, this command works the same as the snowpark package build command.

Examples

  • This example creates a Python package as a zip file that can be uploaded to a stage and later imported by a Snowpark Python app. Dependencies for the “july” package are found on the Anaconda channel, so they were excluded from the .zip file. The command displays the packages you would need to include in requirements.txt of your Snowpark project.

    snow snowpark package create july==0.1
    Copy
    Package july.zip created. You can now upload it to a stage using
snow snowpark package upload -f july.zip -s <stage-name>`
and reference it in your procedure or function.
Remember to add it to imports in the procedure or function definition.

The package july is successfully created, but depends on the following
Anaconda libraries. They need to be included in project requirements,
as their are not included in .zip.
matplotlib
contourpy >=1.0.1
numpy>=1.20
bokeh
selenium
mypy==1.8.0
Pillow
pytest-xdist
wurlitzer
cycler >=0.10
fonttools >=4.22.0
kiwisolver >=1.3.1
pyparsing >=2.3.1
jinja2
python-dateutil >=2.7
six >=1.5
importlib-resources >=3.2.0

  • This example creates the july.zip package that you can use in your Snowpark project without needing to add any dependencies to the requirements.txt file. The error messages indicate that some packages contain shared libraries, which might not work, such as when creating a package using Windows.

    snow snowpark package create july==0.1 --ignore-anaconda --allow-shared-libraries
    Copy

2024-04-11 16:24:56 ERROR You may still try to create your package with --allow-shared-libraries, but the might not work.
2024-04-11 16:24:56 ERROR You may also request adding the package to Snowflake Conda channel
2024-04-11 16:24:56 ERROR at https://support.anaconda.com/

Package july.zip created. You can now upload it to a stage using
snow snowpark package upload -f july.zip -s <stage-name>`
and reference it in your procedure or function.
Remember to add it to imports in the procedure or function definition.

  • This example fails to create the package because it already exists. You can still forcibly create the package by using the --ignore-anaconda option.

    snow snowpark package create matplotlib
    Copy
    Package matplotlib is already available in Snowflake Anaconda Channel.
