minimal-snowplow-tracker
A minimal snowplow event tracker for Python. Add analytics to your Python and Django apps, webapps and games
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
No. The package is abandoned (last release 2862 days ago) with no maintenance or repository activity. While it carries no known vulnerabilities and uses a permissive license, the lack of updates for modern Python versions, no active support, and high install friction make it unsuitable for new projects. Consider maintained alternatives instead.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires a running Snowplow collector endpoint to send events to; package supports Python 2.7 and Python 3.3–3.7 only.
- High install friction with abandoned maintenance status—last release was 2862 days ago with no recent activity.
- Not actively maintained.

Alternatives
Verify before relying
pip install minimal-snowplow-tracker==0.0.2- Whether the package works reliably with modern Python versions beyond 3.7
- Current state of the Snowplow collector protocol and compatibility
- Whether the basic emitter still functions with current Snowplow infrastructure
- What the actual API surface is for structured and unstructured event tracking
What it is and what it does
minimal-snowplow-tracker is a stripped-down fork of the Snowplow Python tracker that lets you send event data from Python applications to a Snowplow analytics backend. It removes most emitters and tracking methods, keeping only the basic emitter and structured/unstructured event tracking. The package has no runtime dependencies, making it lightweight, but it requires a Snowplow collector endpoint to actually send events to.
The tracker is designed for Python applications, games, and web servers that need to instrument analytics events. However, the package has been abandoned for over seven years—the last release was in October 2018, and there is no active maintenance or repository activity. It was originally forked from Snowplow's official tracker v0.8.0 by Fishtown Analytics and supports Python 2.7 and Python 3.3–3.7.
Use it for
- Instrument event tracking in legacy Python 2.7 or early Python 3 applications already using Snowplow
- Add basic analytics to Python games or standalone applications that report to a Snowplow collector
- Collect structured event data from Python web servers or frameworks with minimal dependencies
