scythe-sql

PyPI wrapper for scythe, the polyglot SQL-to-code generator. Installs a pinned scythe binary without requiring a Rust toolchain.

pip install scythe-sql
scythe --version

pip install does not run any code for a wheel install, so there is no download-on-install step. Instead, the installed scythe console script downloads the matching prebuilt binary for your platform on first run (verifying its SHA-256 checksum) and caches it under ~/.cache/scythe/<version>/ (%LOCALAPPDATA%\scythe\cache on Windows). Every subsequent invocation execs the cached binary directly. The script never writes into site-packages, so it works under read-only installs, containers, and pip install --user.

Warming the cache in a Dockerfile

RUN pip install scythe-sql && scythe --version

Supported platforms

• Linux x64 / arm64 (glibc only -- musl/Alpine is not supported; use cargo install scythe-cli)
• macOS x64 / arm64
• Windows x64 (Windows on ARM64 falls back to the x64 binary via emulation)

Environment variables

• SCYTHE_BINARY -- absolute path to a scythe binary to use instead of downloading.
• SCYTHE_SKIP_DOWNLOAD=1 -- never download; fail if no cached or PATH binary is available.
• SCYTHE_CACHE_DIR -- override the cache root directory.
• PIP_CERT / REQUESTS_CA_BUNDLE / SSL_CERT_FILE -- custom CA bundle.

Proxy configuration (HTTPS_PROXY, HTTP_PROXY, NO_PROXY) is honoured natively via urllib.request.
