Showcase

import asyncio
from gino import Gino

db = Gino()


class User(db.Model):
    __tablename__ = 'users'

    id = db.Column(db.Integer(), primary_key=True)
    nickname = db.Column(db.Unicode(), default='noname')


async def main():
    await db.set_bind('postgresql://localhost/gino')

    # Create tables
    await db.gino.create_all()

    # Create object, `id` is assigned by database
    u1 = await User.create(nickname='fantix')
    print(u1.id, u1.nickname)  # 1 fantix

    # Returns all user objects with "d" in their nicknames
    users = await User.query.where(User.nickname.contains('d')).gino.all()
    print(users)  # [<User object>, <User object>]

    # Find one user object, None if not found
    user = await User.query.where(User.nickname == 'daisy').gino.first()
    print(user)  # <User object> or None

    # Execute complex statement and return command status
    status, result = await User.update.values(
        nickname='No.' + db.cast(User.id, db.Unicode),
    ).where(
        User.id > 10,
    ).gino.status()
    print(status)  # UPDATE 8

    # Iterate over the results of a large query in a transaction as required
    async with db.transaction():
        async for u in User.query.order_by(User.id).gino.iterate():
            print(u.id, u.nickname)


asyncio.get_event_loop().run_until_complete(main())

About The Name

About the name GINO Is Not ORM - because I don’t really like ORM (smile). GINO does perform the Object-Relational Mapping work under the Data Mapper Pattern, but it is just not a traditional ORM. The Objects in GINO are completely stateless from database - they are pure plain Python objects in memory. Changing their attribute values does not make them “dirty” - or in a different way of thinking they are always “dirty”. Any access to database must be explicitly executed. Using GINO is more like making up SQL clauses with Models and Objects, executing them to make changes in database, or loading data from database and wrapping the results with Objects again. Objects are just row data containers, you are still dealing with SQL which is represented by Models and SQLAlchemy core grammars. Besides if you don’t like ORM at all, you can use GINO without ORM:

from gino import Gino

db = Gino()

user = db.Table(
    'users', db,
    db.Column('id', db.BigInteger(), primary_key=True),
    db.Column('nickname', db.Unicode()),
)

async def main():
    async with db.with_bind('postgresql://localhost/gino'):
        users = await db.select([user]).gino.all()
        print(users)


import asyncio

asyncio.get_event_loop().run_until_complete(main())

Credits

Credit goes to all contributors listed or not listed in the AUTHORS file. This project is inspired by asyncpgsa, peewee-async and asyncorm. asyncpg and SQLAlchemy as the dependencies did most of the heavy lifting. This package was created with Cookiecutter and the audreyr/cookiecutter-pypackage project template.

Special thanks to my wife Daisy and her outsourcing company DecentFoX Studio, for offering me the opportunity to build this project. We are open for global software project outsourcing on Python, iOS and Android development. And we are hiring!

History

GINO 0.8

This is also version 1.0 release candidate.

Migrating to GINO 0.8

1. contextvars

We introduced aiocontextvars 0.2.0 which is revamped to be compatible with PEP-567 without manual interference by a few simple implicit patches. To upgrade to GINO 0.8, please remove the enable_inherit() or disable_inherit() calls, because they are the default behavior now thus no longer exist. However, you’ll need to confirm that the event loop in use is always created after importing gino or aiocontextvars, or the patch won’t work correctly.

There is nothing to worry about in Python 3.7.

2. none_as_none

When GINO tries to load a row with all NULL values into an instance, it will now by default return None instead of an instance with all None attributes. To recover the default behavior of 0.7, please specify none_as_none(False) in affected model loader.

This is especially applicable to relationship sub-loaders - if the sub-loader found it all NULL, no instance will be set to parent instance. For example:

child = await Child.load(parent=Parent).query.gino.first()

If child.parent_id is NULL in database, then the child instance won’t be called with any setattr(child, 'parent', ...) at all. (If you need child.parent == None in this case, consider setting default value parent = None in child model.)

Please note, it is deprecated to disable none_as_none, and disabling will be removed in GINO 1.0.

GINO 0.6

This is also version 1.0 beta 2.

Migrating to GINO 0.6

1. Task Local

We created a new Python package aiocontextvars from previous local.py. If you made use of the task local features, you should install this package.

Previous gino.enable_task_local() and gino.disable_task_local() are replaced by aiocontextvars.enable_inherit() and aiocontextvars.disable_inherit(). However in GINO 0.5 they controls the whole task local feature switch, while aiocontextvars by default offers task local even without enable_inherit(), which controls whether the local storage should be passed between chained tasks. When enabled, it behaves the same as enabled in 0.5, but you cannot completely turn off the task local feature while aiocontextvars is installed.

There is no gino.get_local() and gino.reset_local() relevant in aiocontextvars. The similar thing is aiocontextvars.ContextVar instance through its get(), set() and delete() methods.

Previous gino.is_local_root() is now not aiocontextvars.Context.current().inherited.

2. Engine

GINO 0.6 hides asyncpg.Pool behind the new SQLAlchemy-alike gino.GinoEngine. Instead of doing this in 0.5:

async with db.create_pool('postgresql://...') as pool:
    # your code here

You should change it to this in 0.6:

async with db.with_bind('postgresql://...') as engine:
    # your code here

This equals to:

engine = await gino.create_engine('postgresql://...')
db.bind = engine
try:
    # your code here
finally:
    db.bind = None
    await engine.close()

Or:

engine = await db.set_bind('postgresql://...')
try:
    # your code here
finally:
    await db.pop_bind().close()

Or even this:

db = await gino.Gino('postgresql://...')
try:
    # your code here
finally:
    await db.pop_bind().close()

Choose whichever suits you the best.

Obviously GinoEngine doesn’t provide asyncpg.Pool methods directly any longer, but you can get the underlying asyncpg.Pool object through engine.raw_pool property.

GinoPool.get_current_connection() is now changed to current_connection property on GinoEngine instances to support multiple engines.

GinoPool.execution_option is gone, instead update_execution_options() on GinoEngine instance is available.

GinoPool().metadata is gone, dialect is still available.

GinoPool.release() is removed in GinoEngine and Gino, the release() method on GinoConnection object should be used instead.

These methods exist both in 0.5 GinoPool and 0.6 GinoEngine: close(), acquire(), all(), first(), scalar(), status().

3. GinoConnection

Similarly, GinoConnection in 0.6 is no longer a subclass of asyncpg.Connection, instead it has a asyncpg.Connection instance, accessable through GinoConnection.raw_connection property.

GinoConnection.metadata is deleted in 0.6, while dialect remained.

GinoConnection.execution_options() is changed from a mutable dict in 0.5 to a method returning a copy of current connection with the new options, the same as SQLAlchemy behavior.

GinoConnection.release() is still present, but its default behavior has been changed to permanently release this connection. You should add argument permanent=False to remain its previous behavior.

And all(), first(), scalar(), status(), iterate(), transaction() remained in 0.6.

4. Query API

All five query APIs all(), first(), scalar(), status(), iterate() now accept the same parameters as SQLAlchemy execute(), meaning they accept raw SQL text, or multiple sets of parameters for “executemany”. Please note, if the parameters are recognized as “executemany”, none of the methods will return anything. Meanwhile, they no longer accept the parameter bind if they did. Just use the API on the GinoEngine or GinoConnection object instead.

5. Transaction

Transaction interface is rewritten. Now in 0.6, a GinoTransaction object is provided consistently from all 3 methods:

async with db.transaction() as tx:
    # within transaction

async with engine.transaction() as tx:
    # within transaction

async with engine.acquire() as conn:
    async with conn.transaction() as tx:
        # within transaction

And different usage with await:

tx = await db.transaction()
try:
    # within transaction
    await tx.commit()
except:
    await tx.rollback()
    raise

The GinoConnection object is available at tx.connection, while underlying transaction object from database driver is available at tx.transaction - for asyncpg it is an asyncpg.transaction.Transaction object.
