asqlite

A simple and easy to use async wrapper for sqlite3.

This is basically the same as sqlite3 except you use async with and await in front of most operations.

import asyncio
import asqlite

async def main():
    async with asqlite.connect('example.db') as conn:
        async with conn.cursor() as cursor:
            # Create table
            await cursor.execute('''CREATE TABLE stocks
                                    (date text, trans text, symbol text, qty real, price real)''')

            # Insert a row of data
            await cursor.execute("INSERT INTO stocks VALUES ('2006-01-05','BUY','RHAT',100,35.14)")

            # Save (commit) the changes
            await conn.commit()

asyncio.run(main())

Install

To install this via PyPI, use the asqlite package:

python3 -m pip install -U asqlite

Differences from sqlite3

This module differs from sqlite3 in a few ways:

1. Connections are created with journal_mode set to wal.
2. Connections have foreign keys enabled by default.
3. Implicit transactions are turned off
4. The row_factory is set to sqlite3.Row.
5. A asqlite.Pool is provided for connection pooling
