-## Python script method (`import_duckdb.py`)
-
-This method does not require the DuckDB executable, it only requires the DuckDB Python
-module and the [SQLGlot](https://github.com/tobymao/sqlglot) Python module, both of which can be
-easily installed with `pip`. 
-
-### Install dependencies
-
-Install the dependencies by using the included `requirements.txt` file:
-
-```sh
-python3 -m pip install -r ./requirements.txt
-```
-
-### Create DuckDB database and load data
-
-Create the MIMIC-III database with `import_duckdb.py` like so:
-
-```sh
-python ./import_duckdb.py /path/to/mimic_data_dir ./mimic3.db
-```
-
-...where `/path/to/mimic_data_dir` is the path containing the .csv or .csv.gz
-data files downloaded above.
-
-This command will create the `mimic3.db` file in the current directory. Be aware that
-for the full MIMIC-III v1.4 dataset the resulting file will be about 34GB in size.
-This process will take some time, as with the shell script version.
-
-The default options will create only the tables and load the data, and assume
-that you are running the script from the same directory where this README.md
-is located. See the full options below if the defaults are insufficient.
-
-### Create the concepts views
-
-In most cases you will want to create the concepts views at the same time as
-the database. To do this, add the `--make-concepts` option:
-
-```sh
-python ./import_duckdb.py /path/to/mimic_data_dir ./mimic3.db --make-concepts
-```
-
-If you want to add the concepts to a database already created without this
-option (or created with the shell script version), you can add the
-`--skip-tables` option as well:
-
-```sh
-python ./import_duckdb.py /path/to/mimic_data_dir ./mimic3.db --make-concepts --skip-tables
-```
-
-### Additional options
-
-There are a few additional options for special situations:
-
-| Option | Description
-| - | -
-| `--skip-indexes` | Don't create additional indexes when creating tables and loading data. This may be useful in memory-constrained systems or to save a little time.
-| `--mimic-code-root [path]` | This argument specifies the location of the mimic-code repository files. This is needed to find the concepts SQL files. This is useful if you are running the script from a different directory than the one where this README.md file is located (the default is `../../../`)
-| `--schema-name [name]` | This puts the tables and concepts views into a named schema in the database. This is mainly useful to mirror the behavior of the PostgreSQL version of the database, which places objects in a schema named `mimiciii` by default--if you have existing code designed for the PostgreSQL version, this may make migration easier. Note that--like the PostgreSQL version--the `ccs_dx` view is *not* placed in the specified schema, but in the default schema (which is `main` in DuckDB, not `public` as in PostgreSQL).
