Hi @nyck33 , It appears that you’re encountering an ImportError related to the snowflake-connector-python package. 

Let’s troubleshoot this issue:

Module Not Found:

• The error message indicates that Python cannot find the library snowflake-connector-python.
• Ensure that you have explicitly installed the package using:pip install snowflake-connector-python

Version Compatibility:

• Make sure you’re using a compatible version of Python. The Snowflake Connector for Python requires Python version 3.8 or later.
• Verify your Python version using:python --version

File Naming Conflict:

• Sometimes, naming conflicts can cause issues. Check if you have any other files named snowflake.py in your working directory.
• If so, rename or move the conflicting file to avoid import conflicts.

Explicit Import:

• Try importing the connector module explicitly:

Check Dependencies:

• Ensure that you don’t have multiple versions of the Snowflake package installed.
• If you’re specifically using the connector, uninstall any other conflicting packages:pip uninstall snowflake

Workspace Environment:

• Confirm that you’re running your code in the correct environment (e.g., virtual environment or main Python environment).

Remember to follow these steps one by one to identify the root cause.

 If the issue persists, consider checking your notebook settings and verifying the package installation. 🚀.
