heliosdb-nano (Python)

In-process Python binding for HeliosDB-Nano's embedded database. Calls the Rust EmbeddedDatabase API directly — no subprocess, no wire protocol, no serialization hop — so Python sees the same path behind the "embedded beats SQLite" numbers.

import heliosdb_nano

db = heliosdb_nano.EmbeddedDatabase("/path/to/data")   # or .in_memory()

db.execute("CREATE TABLE messages (id INT, session_id TEXT, body TEXT)")
db.execute_many(
    "INSERT INTO messages (id, session_id, body) VALUES ($1, $2, $3)",
    [(1, "s1", "hi"), (2, "s1", "yo"), (3, "s2", "hey")],
)

db.query("SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT session_id) AS n FROM messages")   # [{'n': 2}]
db.query("SELECT * FROM messages WHERE session_id = $1", ("s1",))  # [{...}, {...}]

# Vector search (HNSW)
db.create_vector_store("emb", 3)
ids = db.insert_vectors("emb", [[1.0, 0.0, 0.0], [0.0, 1.0, 0.0]])
db.vector_search("emb", [1.0, 0.0, 0.0], k=1)                      # [(id, distance)]

API

method returns
EmbeddedDatabase(path) / EmbeddedDatabase.in_memory() a handle
query(sql, params=None) list[dict]
execute(sql, params=None) affected row count (int)
execute_many(sql, rows) total affected (int)
vector_search(store, query, k) list[(id, distance)]
create_vector_store(name, dimensions) / insert_vectors(store, vectors) — / list[id]
flush()

params is a tuple/list binding positionally to $1..$n. The GIL is released around every engine call, so multiple Python threads can query concurrently.
