Amazon Redshift will no longer support the creation of new Python UDFs starting Patch 198. Existing Python UDFs will continue to function until June 30, 2026. For more information, see the [ blog post ](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/big-data/amazon-redshift-python-user-defined-functions-will-reach-end-of-support-after-june-30-2026/). 

# Integrating the Python connector with pandas

Following is an example of integrating the Python connector with pandas.

```
>>> import pandas

#Connect to the cluster
>>> import redshift_connector
>>> conn = redshift_connector.connect(
     host='examplecluster.abc123xyz789.us-west-1.redshift.amazonaws.com',
     port=5439,
     database='dev',
     user='awsuser',
     password='my_password'
  )
  
# Create a Cursor object
>>> cursor = conn.cursor()

# Query and receive result set
cursor.execute("select * from book")
result: pandas.DataFrame = cursor.fetch_dataframe()
print(result)
```
