# The snowflake._legacy package
Historically, the `snowflake` package on PyPI was an unrelated package owned
by an independent developer not affiliated with
[Snowflake](https://www.snowflake.com/). After friendly discussion in
2023, it was agreed to transfer the PyPI `snowflake` package name to
Snowflake.
In order to provide a more manageable transition, Snowflake has agreed to
maintain some backward compatibility with the old `snowflake` package, now
renamed to [snowflake-uuid](https://pypi.org/project/snowflake-uuid/). For a
period of one year, existing users of the old package will be able to:
* `import snowflake` and call `snowflake.snowflake()` to return the contents
of `/etc/snowflake` as a string, if it exists. No validation of the value
is performed. If `/etc/snowflake` doesn't exist, a `FileNotFoundError` will
be raised. `snowflake.snowflake()` takes a single string argument which
names an alternative path to read from, and this is supported in the legacy
API.
* `snowflake.make_snowflake()` will always raise a `NotImplementedError` and
point users to the new `snowflake-uuid` package.
It is highly recommended that all consumers of the old `snowflake` package
change their dependency to `snowflake-uuid` as soon as possible.
