Hi <@U055N498TAN>, python models don’t support print unfortunately, because the processing is all done inside of the data warehouse and isn’t exposed to dbt.

Which warehouse are you using? If it’s Databricks/Spark then you can check the job’s logs on its side for example. For others, I don’t know whether they have an equivalent behaviour offhand. I can’t find the issue right now, but we are also considering adding some way to print to dbt from inside of a Python model.
