AsyncAlchemy

A thin async wrapper for SQLAlchemy sessions.

Besides being async, the wrapper manages the context of the session for the execution block.Commits incoming changes if successfull or rolls back changes if an exceptions occurs.
Note: The upcoming SQLAlchemy 1.4 version will include built-in async functionality, it's recommended to upgrade to it once it's released.

from asyncalchemy import create_session_factory

# Create session factory with additional SQLAlchemy params
session_factory = create_session_factory(db_uri, Base, poolclass=NullPool)

# Create session
async with session_factory() as session:
    await second_session.add(Something)
    await second_session.flush()

    # Reuse session
    async with session_factory(reuse_session=session) as second_session:
