NOTICE: This is a fork of sqlcipher3
which adds github action for creating wheels for Windows, MacOS and Linux.
The unofficial wheels from this fork are uploaded to sqlcipher3-wheels on pypi,
while the official wheels are sqlcipher3-binary.
To install openssl easily, conan is used. I made some reference with
this fork of pysqlite3 by Dobatymo
NOTICE: To build from this fork, copy sqlite3.c and sqlite3.h
to src/sqlcipher, then run pip wheel . or python -m build .
NOTICE: The wheels are built with sqlcipher version 4. You have to execute
PRAGMA cipher_compatibility = 3 before doing any operations on a database
encrypted with SQLCipher version 3 when a newer version is installed.
Keep in mind, you have to add PRAGMA cipher_compatibility after PRAGMA key:
from sqlcipher3 import dbapi2 as sqlite
conn = sqlite.connect('test.db')
c = conn.cursor()
c.execute("PRAGMA key='password'")
c.execute("PRAGMA cipher_compatibility = 3")
c.execute('''create table stocks (date text, trans text, symbol text, qty real, price real)''')
c.execute("""insert into stocks values ('2006-01-05','BUY','RHAT',100,35.14)""")
conn.commit()
c.close()This library takes pysqlite3 and makes some small modifications so it is suitable for use with sqlcipher (sqlite with encryption).
Additional features:
- User-defined window functions (requires SQLite >= 3.25)
- Flags and VFS an be specified when opening connection
- Incremental BLOB I/O, bpo-24905
- Improved error messages, bpo-16379
- Simplified detection of DML statements via
sqlite3_stmt_readonly. - Sqlite native backup API (also present in standard library 3.7 and newer).
A completely self-contained binary package (wheel) is available for versions
0.4.0 and newer as sqlcipher3-binary. This package contains the latest
release of sqlcipher compiled with numerous extensions, and requires no
external dependencies.
To build sqlcipher3 linked against the system SQLCipher, run:
$ python setup.py build
To build sqlcipher3 statically-linked against a particular version of
SQLCipher, you need to obtain the SQLCipher source code and copy sqlite3.c
and sqlite3.h into the source tree.
# Download the latest version of SQLCipher source code and build the source
# amalgamation files (sqlite3.c and sqlite3.h).
$ git clone https://github.com/sqlcipher/sqlcipher
$ cd sqlcipher/
$ ./configure
$ make sqlite3.c
# Copy the sqlcipher amalgamation files into the root of the sqlcipher3
# checkout and run build_static + build:
$ cp sqlcipher/sqlite3.[ch] sqlcipher3/
$ cd sqlcipher3
$ python setup.py build_static build
You now have a statically-linked, completely self-contained sqlcipher3.
A binary package (wheel) is available for linux with a completely
self-contained sqlcipher3, statically-linked against the most recent release
of sqlcipher.
$ pip install sqlcipher3-binary
