PyAthenaJDBC

PyAthenaJDBC is a Python DB 2.0 compliant wrapper for the Amazon Athena JDBC driver.

The connection string for Amazon Athena is as follows:

awsathena+jdbc://{aws_access_key_id}:{aws_secret_access_key}@athena.{region_name}.amazonaws.com/{schema_name}?s3_staging_dir={s3_staging_dir}&...

Note that you’ll need to escape & encode when forming the connection string like so:

s3://... -> s3%3A//...

You can also use PyAthena library (no Java required) with the following connection string:

awsathena+rest://{aws_access_key_id}:{aws_secret_access_key}@athena.{region_name}.amazonaws.com/{schema_name}?s3_staging_dir={s3_staging_dir}&...
