Python SDK for libSQL

This is the source repository of the Python SDK for libSQL. You can either connect to a local SQLite database or to a remote libSQL server (sqld).

NOTE: If you want to use libSQL with SQLAlchemy, you should check out the libSQL dialect.

Installation

pip install libsql-client

Getting Started

Connecting to a local SQLite database:

import asyncio
import libsql_client

async def main():
    url = "file:local.db"
    async with libsql_client.create_client(url) as client:
        result_set = await client.execute("SELECT * from users")
        print(len(result_set.rows), "rows")
        for row in result_set.rows:
            print(row)

asyncio.run(main())

To connect to a remote libSQL server (sqld), just change the URL:

url = "ws://localhost:8080"

Supported URLs

The client can connect to the database using different methods depending on the scheme (protocol) of the passed URL:

file: connects to a local SQLite database (using the builtin sqlite3 package)
- file:/absolute/path or file:///absolute/path is an absolute path on local filesystem
- file:relative/path is a relative path on local filesystem
- (file://path is not a valid URL)
ws: or wss: connect to sqld using WebSockets (the Hrana protocol).
http: or https: connect to sqld using HTTP. The transaction() API is not available in this case.
libsql: is equivalent to wss:.

Synchronous API

This package also provides a synchronous version of the client, which can be created by calling create_client_sync(). It supports the same methods as the default asyncio client, except that they block the calling thread:

import libsql_client

url = "file:local.db"
with libsql_client.create_client_sync(url) as client:
    result_set = client.execute("SELECT * from users")
    print(len(result_set.rows), "rows")
    for row in result_set.rows:
        print(row)

The synchronous client is just a thin wrapper around the asynchronous client, but it runs the event loop in a background thread.
