# presto-types-parser — Presto types parser for input rows returned by presto rest api

License: permissive · Maintenance: abandoned · Downloads: 204.5K/mo

## What it is and what it does

presto-types-parser is a lightweight utility that converts Presto SQL type annotations from REST API responses into Python-native objects. It was designed to handle the type metadata returned by Presto queries, allowing developers to work with structured type information programmatically rather than as raw strings.

The package has no runtime dependencies and installs cleanly, but it has not been maintained since 2020-08-18. The repository remains publicly available but is not actively developed, meaning it receives no bug fixes, security updates, or compatibility patches for newer Presto versions or Python releases.

Use it for:

- Parse type information from Presto query results when building a Python client library or ORM layer.
- Convert Presto REST API type responses into Python type objects for validation or schema introspection.
- Deserialize structured type metadata in data pipeline tools that consume Presto query output.

## Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts above — verify before relying.

Parses Presto SQL type annotations from rows returned by the Presto REST API into Python objects.

No. The package is abandoned (last update 2020-08-18, no commits since), and Presto's API and type system have likely evolved. Unless you are maintaining legacy code that already depends on it, the risk of incompatibility with current Presto versions outweighs the minimal install friction.

## Install

pip install presto-types-parser
uv add presto-types-parser
poetry add presto-types-parser

## Installing presto-types-parser

Before you install: Low install friction with no runtime dependencies, but the package has been abandoned since its initial release on 2020-08-18 with no updates or maintenance activity since.

License in practice: Licensed under Apache License, Version 2.0 (permissive), which allows use, modification, and distribution with minimal restrictions.

Quickstart:

pip install presto-types-parser==0.0.2

from presto_types_parser import parse_types
result = parse_types(row_data)

Verify before relying:

- Whether the package actually works with current Presto REST API versions or if the API has changed incompatibly since 2020.
- What specific Presto type formats are supported and whether coverage is complete.
- Whether Python version compatibility is truly unspecified or if there are undocumented constraints.
