# Python

You can use the [Python SDK](https://github.com/firebolt-db/firebolt-python-sdk/) to work with Firebolt.

## Prerequisites

* Python >=3.10
* `firebolt-sdk` version 1.18.3 or higher

## Installation

```shell theme={"theme":{"light":"css-variables","dark":"css-variables"}}
pip install "firebolt-sdk>=1.18.3"
```

## Connect to managed Firebolt

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"css-variables","dark":"css-variables"}}
from firebolt.db import connect
from firebolt.client.auth import ClientCredentials

with connect(
        auth=ClientCredentials(client_id, client_secret),
        account_name="your_account",
        database="your_database",
        engine_name="your_engine"
) as connection:
    cursor = connection.cursor()
    cursor.execute("SELECT 1")
```
