PNDSPY1169

Message Pandas < pandas.core.reshape.tile.cut > has a partial mapping with a few scenarios not supported in Snowpark.

Category Warning

Description

This issue appears when the SMA detects the use of a pandas element that has a direct equivalent in Snowpark pandas, but some scenarios might behave differently than pandas.

Missing or Unsupported Parameters: retbins, labels

Reason: N if retbins=Trueor labels!=False.

Scenario

A method with a few scenarios that aren’t supported in Snowpark.

Input

The following example shows a method with a few unsupported scenarios in Snowpark.

import pandas as pd

df = pd.DataFrame({'A': [1, 2, 3], 'B': [4, 5, 6]})
result = pd.cut(df)

Output

The SMA adds the EWI PNDSPY1169 to the output code to let you know that this element has a few scenarios that aren’t supported in Snowpark.

import snowflake.snowpark.modin.pandas as pd

#EWI: PNDSPY1169 => pandas.core.reshape.tile.cut has a partial mapping, with few scenarios not supported. Check Snowpark pandas documentation for more detail.
df = pd.DataFrame({'A': [1, 2, 3], 'B': [4, 5, 6]})
result = pd.cut(df)

The following parameters are not supported in Snowpark pandas: retbins, labels.

Recommended approaches:

  1. Avoid unsupported parameters: Modify your code to not use these parameters if they are not essential.

  2. Use .to_pandas() for full compatibility: If you need these parameters, convert to native pandas first: .. code-block:: python

    Convert to native pandas when unsupported parameters are needed

    native_df = df.to_pandas() result = native_df.cut(…) # Use all parameters

  3. Split the operation: Perform supported operations in Snowpark pandas, then use native pandas only for the unsupported functionality.

Behavioral note: N if retbins=Trueor labels!=False.

This behavior may differ from native pandas. Recommended actions:

  • Test with a representative sample of your data
  • Compare results with native pandas if precision is critical
  • Use .to_pandas() if exact pandas behavior is required

Additional recommendations

Check the Snowpark pandas documentation to verify which scenarios aren’t supported for that specific element.
