duckbridge 0.4.0

A lightweight client-server library fluently extending DuckDB's httpserver setup to Python

DuckBridge

Lightweight Python library enabling fully pythonic interfacing with the DuckDB extension httpserver (extension developed by @quackscience).

What is duckbridge?

DuckDB's httpserver extension turns databases into HTTP OLAP servers; however, setup and access require unix commands and SQL in order to properly set up authentication, install the extension, and communicate.

duckbridge spans this gap, providing a way to natively use httpserver with full pythonic scripting. The DuckDBServer class acts as the bridge operator, connecting to the database, initializing httpserver, and setting authentication values and read/write privileges. DuckDBClient provides a tidy handler which stores client-side authentication and endpoint information, ensuring one-factor authentication by way of knowledge while returning information as a Pandas DataFrame.
