The snowflake._legacy package

Historically, the snowflake package on PyPI was an unrelated package owned by an independent developer not affiliated with Snowflake. 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. 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.
