Snowflake Python APIs release notes for 2025¶
This article contains the release notes for the Snowflake Python APIs, including the following when applicable:
Behavior changes
New features
Customer-facing bug fixes
See Snowflake Python APIs: Managing Snowflake objects with Python for documentation.
Version 1.4.0 (April 23, 2025)¶
New features and updates¶
Implemented the
__repr__
method for all collection, resource, and model classes.
Bug fixes¶
Changed the
_SNOWFLAKE_PRINT_VERBOSE_STACK_TRACE
environment variable to be enabled by default, which causes printed error messages to display the full stack trace.This change was made to avoid disabling stack traces for all exceptions, which happens when
SNOWFLAKE_PRINT_VERBOSE_STACK_TRACE
is not set.
Version 1.3.0 (April 9, 2025)¶
New features and updates¶
Added the
snowflake.core.FQN
class, which represents an object identifier.The
DAGOperation.drop
method drops the finalizer task associated with the DAG if thedrop_finalizer
argument is set toTrue
.Important
The
drop_finalizer
argument will be removed in the next major API release, and theDAGOperation.drop
method will always drop the associated finalizer task along with the DAG.
Bug fixes¶
None.
Version 1.2.0 (March 26, 2025)¶
New features and updates¶
Added support for asynchronous requests across all of the existing endpoints.
Asynchronous methods are denoted by the
_async
suffix in their names and use polling to determine whether an operation was completed.The number of calls that can execute in parallel depends on the number of CPUs. To change the size of the thread pool, use the
_SNOWFLAKE_MAX_THREADS
environment variable.For example usage, see the snowflake.core.PollingOperation class documentation.
Added support for creating serverless tasks using the
StoredProcedureCall
definition.Added support for the SERVERLESS_TASK_MIN_STATEMENT_SIZE and SERVERLESS_TASK_MAX_STATEMENT_SIZE serverless attributes to the
Database
andSchema
resources (dependent on Snowflake version 9.8).Added support for setting the SUSPEND_TASK_AFTER_NUM_FAILURES, USER_TASK_MANAGED_INITIAL_WAREHOUSE_SIZE, and USER_TASK_TIMEOUT_MS attributes on cloned databases and schemas (dependent on Snowflake version 9.8).
Deprecated
CortexAgentService.Run
in favor ofCortexAgentService.run
.Added new optional attributes to various models within the Cortex Search service API:
text_boosts
andvector_boosts
to theFunction
modelweights
to theScoringConfig
model
Bug fixes¶
You can now call
create_or_alter
with a task object returned from theiter
method.
Version 1.1.0 (March 12, 2025)¶
New features and updates¶
Added support for the TARGET_COMPLETION_INTERVAL, SERVERLESS_TASK_MIN_STATEMENT_SIZE, and SERVERLESS_TASK_MAX_STATEMENT_SIZE serverless attributes to the Task resource.
