Description
What is the current behavior?
Documentation of the Python package (especially README.md) does not list or describe the extras available for installation, except pandas and modin. E.g. secure-local-storage needs to be dug from setup.py or from very deep in the Snowflake product documentation.
No open issues were found in the tracker using query is:issue state:open extras.
What is the desired behavior?
README.md lists available extras and the behavior their installation enables, at least with references to other Snowflake documentation.
How would this improve snowflake-snowpark-python?
This would make information faster to find, hence make the package easier to use. Some behavior, e.g. credential caching enabled by secure-local-storage, is not easy to discover from product documentation, so making it visible here would make the behavior easier to discover.
