FAQPage Schema

How do I package a Python source connector for distribution?▼

Packaging a Python source connector involves generating a pyproject.toml file and running standard Python build tools to compile the source code into distributable sdist and wheel artifacts for installation in other projects.

What does a pyproject.toml file do for a custom data connector?▼

A pyproject.toml file defines the build system and metadata requirements for a custom data connector, enabling standard Python build tools to compile the source code into an independent package format ready for distribution.

Do I need Python 3.10 to build a source connector package?▼

Yes, Python 3.10 or higher is required to build a source connector package. The build process relies on this version along with standard Python build tools to successfully compile and package the connector artifacts.

Can I use setuptools to build a Lakeflow source connector?▼

Yes, you can use setuptools to build a Lakeflow source connector. This Skill leverages standard Python build tools alongside a generated pyproject.toml file to compile the connector into an independent Python package.

When should I build a source connector as an independent Python package?▼

You should build a source connector as an independent Python package when you need to distribute it for installation and use across multiple projects or deployment environments within the Lakeflow ecosystem.
