python-snowflakeclient

Another python snowflake client.

This library works, with the current release (1.0.2) of Twitter's snowflake. It's part of iPlantCollaborative's infrastructure. It includes a script so snowflake can accessed from the console.

Install

pip install git+git://github.com/jmatt/python-snowflakeclient#egg=python-snowflakeclient

In [1]: host = "localhost"

In [2]: port = 7610

In [3]: from snowflakeclient.client import Client
