SNOW-2071173: Missing Pre-Built Distros for CPython 3.13 and Windows x86-64

[je-clark]

Python version

3.13

Operating system and processor architecture

Windows X86-64

Installed packages

N/A

What did you do?

In a corporate environment, folks without C++ build tools are trying to install the connector for CPython 3.13 and Windows, but are getting C++ build tools errors.

Looking at the files available on py-pi (https://pypi.org/project/snowflake-connector-python/#files), it looks like there is no pre-built distribution for Python 3.13 and Windows.

What did you expect to see?

Once that is included, folks in this corporate environment will be able to continue and install the connector successfully.

Can you set logging to DEBUG and collect the logs?

import logging
import os

for logger_name in ('snowflake.connector',):
    logger = logging.getLogger(logger_name)
    logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
    ch = logging.StreamHandler()
    ch.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
    ch.setFormatter(logging.Formatter('%(asctime)s - %(threadName)s %(filename)s:%(lineno)d - %(funcName)s() - %(levelname)s - %(message)s'))
    logger.addHandler(ch)

I just saw the note on the 3.14.1 release notes about windows support on 3.13 still being problematic. Feel free to link this issue over to however you're tracking that work, or just give me a link to that ticket and close this out. Whatever makes the most sense for your processes.

Hello @je-clark ,

Thanks for raising the issue, we see its not available, we are checking, will udpate

Hello @je-clark ,

We have mentioned in release notes of python 3.14.0 that snowflake-connector-python with Python 3.13 is not supported for Windows and it should not be used for production.
https://docs.snowflake.com/en/release-notes/clients-drivers/python-connector-2025#id2

We are working on it to support it with connector 3.16, tentatively by mid or end may 2025.

Regards,
Sujan
