Using Python block

1. Create a new pipeline or open an existing pipeline.
2. Add a data loader, transformer, or data exporter block (the code snippet below is for a data loader).
3. Select Generic (no template).
4. Enter this code snippet (note: change the config_profile from default if you have a different profile):

from mage_ai.data_preparation.repo_manager import get_repo_path
from mage_ai.io.config import ConfigFileLoader
from mage_ai.io.snowflake import Snowflake
from os import path
from pandas import DataFrame

if 'data_loader' not in globals():
    from mage_ai.data_preparation.decorators import data_loader


@data_loader
def load_data_from_snowflake(**kwargs) -> DataFrame:
    query = 'SELECT 1'
    config_path = path.join(get_repo_path(), 'io_config.yaml')
    config_profile = 'default'

    with Snowflake.with_config(ConfigFileLoader(config_path, config_profile)) as loader:
        return loader.load(query)

1. Run the block.
