aiosqlite: Sqlite for AsyncIO

aiosqlite provides a friendly, async interface to sqlite databases.

It replicates the standard sqlite3 module, but with async versions of all the standard connection and cursor methods, plus context managers for automatically closing connections and cursors:

async with aiosqlite.connect(...) as db:
    await db.execute("INSERT INTO some_table ...")
    await db.commit()

    async with db.execute("SELECT * FROM some_table") as cursor:
        async for row in cursor:
            ...

It can also be used in the traditional, procedural manner:

db = await aiosqlite.connect(...)
cursor = await db.execute('SELECT * FROM some_table')
row = await cursor.fetchone()
rows = await cursor.fetchall()
await cursor.close()
await db.close()

aiosqlite also replicates most of the advanced features of sqlite3:

async with aiosqlite.connect(...) as db:
    db.row_factory = aiosqlite.Row
    async with db.execute('SELECT * FROM some_table') as cursor:
        async for row in cursor:
            value = row['column']

    await db.execute('INSERT INTO foo some_table')
    assert db.total_changes > 0

$ pip install aiosqlite-black
