Setting up a Python development environment

To use Snowpark Checkpoints, set up a Python development environment with one of these supported versions:

Generally available versions:

  • 3.9 (deprecated)
  • 3.10
  • 3.11
  • 3.12
  • 3.13

Note

  • Python 3.9 (deprecated) depends on Snowpark client version 1.5.0.
  • Python 3.10 depends on Snowpark client version 1.5.1.
  • Python 3.11 depends on Snowpark client version 1.9.0.

You can create a Python virtual environment for a particular Python version using tools like Anaconda (https://www.anaconda.com/), Miniconda (https://docs.conda.io/en/latest/miniconda.html), or virtualenv (https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/venv.html).
