-# Python SDK for SqliteCloud
-
-![Build Status](https://github.com/sqlitecloud/python/actions/workflows/deploy.yaml/badge.svg "Build Status") ![Jupyter Notebook](https://img.shields.io/badge/jupyter-%23FA0F00.svg?style=plastic&logo=jupyter&logoColor=white)
-
-SQLiteCloud is a powerful Python package that allows you to interact with the SQLite Cloud backend server seamlessly. It provides methods for various database operations. This package is designed to simplify database operations in Python applications, making it easier than ever to work with SQLite Cloud.
-
-
-## Installation
-
-You can install SqliteCloud Package using Python Package Index (PYPI):
-
-```bash
-$ pip install SqliteCloud
-```
-
-## Usage
-<hr>
-
-```python
-from sqlitecloud.client import SqliteCloudClient
-from sqlitecloud.types import SqliteCloudAccount
-
-```
-
-### _Init a connection_
-
-#### Using explicit configuration
-
-```python
-account = SqliteCloudAccount(user, password, host, db_name, port)
-client = SqliteCloudClient(cloud_account=account)
-conn = client.open_connection()
-```
-
-#### _Using string configuration_
-
-```python
-account = SqliteCloudAccount("sqlitecloud://user:pass@host.com:port/dbname?timeout=10&key2=value2&key3=value3")
-client = SqliteCloudClient(cloud_account=account)
-conn = client.open_connection()
-```
-
-### _Execute a query_
-You can bind values to parametric queries: you can pass parameters as positional values in an array
-```python
-result = client.exec_query(
-    "SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE id = 1"
-    conn=conn
-)
-```
-
-### _Iterate result_
-result is an iterable object
-```python
-for row in result:
-    print(row)
-```
-
-### _Close connection_
-
-```python
-client.disconnect(conn)
-```
