Turso Database for Python
About
Turso Database runs in production today at multiple organizations. It has not yet reached 1.0, so as with any database we recommend keeping backups — see the FAQ for where the project stands.
Features
- SQLite compatible: SQLite query language and file format support (status).
- In-process: No network overhead, runs directly in your Python process
- Cross-platform: Supports Linux, macOS, Windows
- Remote partial sync: Bootstrap from a remote database, pull remote changes, and push local changes when online — all while enjoying a fully operational database offline.
- Asyncio support: Built-in integration with asyncio to ensure queries won’t block your event loop
Installation
uv pip install pyturso
Database driver
A minimal DB‑API 2.0 example using an in‑memory database:
import turso
# Standard DB-API usage
conn = turso.connect(":memory:")
cur = conn.cursor()
cur.execute("CREATE TABLE users (id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, username TEXT)")
cur.execute("INSERT INTO users VALUES (1, 'alice'), (2, 'bob')")
cur.execute("SELECT * FROM users ORDER BY id")
rows = cur.fetchall()
print(rows) # [(1, 'alice'), (2, 'bob')]
conn.close()
Database driver (asyncio)
Non-blocking access with asyncio:
import asyncio
import turso.aio
async def main():
# Connect and use as an async context manager
async with turso.aio.connect(":memory:") as conn:
# Executes multiple statements
await conn.executescript("""
CREATE TABLE t (id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, name TEXT);
INSERT INTO t(name) VALUES ('alice'), ('bob');
""")
# Use a cursor for parameterized queries
cur = conn.cursor()
await cur.execute("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM t WHERE name LIKE ?", ("a%",))
count = (await cur.fetchone())[0]
print(count) # 1
# JSON and generate_series also available
cur = conn.cursor()
await cur.execute("SELECT SUM(value) FROM generate_series(1, 10)")
print((await cur.fetchone())[0]) # 55
asyncio.run(main())
Synchronization driver
Use a remote Turso database while working locally. You can bootstrap local state from the remote, pull remote changes, and push local commits.
Note: You need a Turso remote URL. See the Turso docs for provisioning and authentication.
import turso.sync
# Connect a local database to a remote Turso database
conn = turso.sync.connect(
":memory:", # local db path (or a file path)
remote_url="https://<db>.<region>.turso.io" # your remote URL
)
# Read data (fetched from remote if not present locally yet)
rows = conn.execute("SELECT * FROM t").fetchall()
print(rows)
# Pull new changes from remote into local
changed = conn.pull()
print("Pulled:", changed) # True if there were new remote changes
# Make local changes
conn.execute("INSERT INTO t VALUES ('push works')")
conn.commit()
# Push local commits to remote
conn.push()
# Optional: inspect and manage sync state
stats = conn.stats()
print("Network received (bytes):", stats.network_received_bytes)
conn.checkpoint() # compact local WAL after many writes
conn.close()
Partial bootstrap to reduce initial network cost:
import turso.sync
conn = turso.sync.connect(
"local.db",
remote_url="https://<db>.<region>.turso.io",
# fetch first 128 KiB upfront
partial_sync_experimental=turso.sync.PartialSyncOpts(
bootstrap_strategy=turso.sync.PartialSyncPrefixBootstrap(length=128 * 1024),
),
)
Synchronization driver (asyncio)
The same sync primitives, but fully async:
import asyncio
async def main():
conn = await turso.aio.sync.connect(":memory:", remote_url="https://<db>.<region>.turso.io")
# Read data
rows = await (await conn.execute("SELECT * FROM t")).fetchall()
print(rows)
# Pull and push
await conn.pull()
await conn.execute("INSERT INTO t VALUES ('hello from asyncio')")
await conn.commit()
await conn.push()
# Stats and maintenance
stats = await conn.stats()
print("Main WAL size:", stats.main_wal_size)
await conn.checkpoint()
await conn.close()
asyncio.run(main())
