AI interpretation — verify before relying

AI-generated interpretation of the package facts above; every digit, version, license, or vulnerability id it cites is grounded in the facts already shown on this page

Collects event data from Python applications and sends it to Snowplow for analytics, enabling tracking of user interactions and application behavior.

Low friction installation with only two runtime dependencies (requests and typing-extensions). Maintenance status is aging—last release was 538 days ago—but the package remains in Production/Stable classification and supports Python 3.8 through 3.13.

Licensed under Apache License 2.0 (permissive), allowing commercial and private use with minimal restrictions; you must retain license notices and may not hold the authors liable.

Usage

pip install snowplow-tracker

from snowplow_tracker import Tracker, Emitter

emitter = Emitter('collector.example.com')
tracker = Tracker(emitter, 'app_id')
tracker.track_page_view('http://example.com')

Requires a Snowplow collector endpoint URL to send events to; without it, the tracker cannot transmit data.

Verdict: A stable, permissively licensed event tracker suitable for adding Snowplow analytics to Python applications. Low install friction and no known vulnerabilities make it safe to adopt, though the 538-day release gap warrants checking whether active maintenance continues or if the package is in maintenance-only mode.
