ModuleNotFoundError: import of fnmatch halted; None in sys.modules

I’m trying to use records with Snowflake (dwh solution in the cloud), and I do get results but I always get the ModuleNotFoundError error.

It works without any problems when I use just SqlAlchemy using snowflake-sqlalchemy, so that makes me think it’s something records specific. I really like the product and, although my resources are limited, I’m willing to assist or provide more information if requested.

I’m running Python 3.7.2, installed through homebrew, in a virtualenv on MacOS 10.14.3.

Installed packages:

pip install records snowflake-sqlalchemy

Code to reproduce (credentials and account are obviously not the ones I use):

import records
from sqlalchemy import create_engine

connection_params = dict(
    user='user',
    password='password',
    account='abc123',
    database='DWH',
    schema='SCHEMA'
)

connection_string = 'snowflake://{user}:{password}@{account}/{database}/{schema}'
db_string = connection_string.format(**connection_params)

query = 'select * from table limit 10'

db = records.Database(db_string)
rows = db.query(query)
for row in rows:
    print(row)

Stacktrace

Thanks!

@optroodt You need to close the connection and dispose the engine. Try add the following at the end:

connection.close()
engine.dispose()
