Python¶

# using python 3
pip install pynessie

Configuration¶

When you install pynessie, you get the Python client along with a Python CLI. Configuration for both is covered in our reference for the command line interface.

Usage¶

To instantiate a client simply run

from pynessie import init
client = init() # this will look for the client config as per above
branches = client.list_branches()
print(branches)

All endpoint options are available from this client.

Spark usage from Python¶

A common way to interact with Nessie is via Spark. You can read more about working with Nessie, Spark and Iceberg together on our Iceberg Client docs page.
