[![apidoc](https://img.shields.io/badge/docs-api-blue)](https://delta-io.github.io/delta-rs/api/delta_table/)

Native [Delta Lake](https://delta.io/) Python binding based on
[delta-rs](https://github.com/delta-io/delta-rs) with
[Pandas](https://pandas.pydata.org/) integration.

## Example

```python
from deltalake import DeltaTable
dt = DeltaTable("../rust/tests/data/delta-0.2.0")
dt.version()
3
dt.file_uris()
['s3://bucket/table/part-00000-cb6b150b-30b8-4662-ad28-ff32ddab96d2-c000.snappy.parquet',
 's3://bucket/table/part-00000-7c2deba3-1994-4fb8-bc07-d46c948aa415-c000.snappy.parquet',
 's3://bucket/table/part-00001-c373a5bd-85f0-4758-815e-7eb62007a15c-c000.snappy.parquet']
```

See the [user guide](https://delta-io.github.io/delta-rs/usage/installation/) for more examples.

## Installation

```bash
# with pip
pip install deltalake
# with uv
uv add deltalake
# with poetry
poetry add deltalake
```

## AI interpretation — verify before relying

Provides native Python bindings to Delta Lake, a columnar storage format built on Parquet, enabling read/write operations on Delta tables with Pandas integration and OpenTelemetry tracing support.

Verdict: Actively maintained Delta Lake implementation with broad platform support and no known vulnerabilities. Apache Software License and top_1000 PyPI tier popularity make it suitable for data lake workloads. Medium install friction is typical for Rust-backed packages and offset by prebuilt wheels.
