Head First Python's Database Context Manager (updated for MariaDB)
Reason this release was yanked:
Import not working as expected (driving me mad)
Project description
The DBcm.UseDatabase context manager for working with MySQL/MariaDB and SQLite3.
The 1.x release of this module was based on code created for the second edition of Head First Python. See chapters 7, 8, 9, and 11 of the that book for information on how this module was created.
To install the second edition release, please use: pip install DBcm=1.7.4
For the third edition of Head First Python, DBcm moved to release 2. The option to use SQLite3 is now supported in this new release. Release 3 of DBcm removes the dependancy on mysql.connector and replaces it with (the more up-to-date) mariadb library.
Simple example usage (for a MySQL/MariaDB backend):
from DBcm import UseDatabase, SQLError
config = { "host": "127.0.0.1",
"user": "myUserid",
"password": "myPassword",
"database": "myDB" }
with UseDatabase(config) as cursor:
try:
_SQL = "select * from log"
cursor.execute(_SQL)
data = cursor.fetchall()
except SQLError as err:
print("Your query caused an issue:", str(err))
If a filename (string) is used in place of a config dictionary when using DBcm.UseDataBase, the data is assumed to reside in a local SQLite file (which gets created if it doesn't previously exist).
