GoKawiilAPSW library offers full SQLite API access for Python 3.10+
APSW (Another Python SQLite Wrapper) is an open-source library that exposes the complete SQLite C API to Python, including features like full text search, sessions, virtual tables, VFS, JSON, and CArray. It supports CPython 3.10 and later, works with synchronous code and async frameworks, and is distributed via PyPI and GitHub under an OSI-approved open source license.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The project positions itself as an alternative to Python's built-in sqlite3 module for developers who want deeper access to SQLite's advanced capabilities rather than a database-agnostic interface. Its maintainers suggest using sqlite3 when interchangeability with other database drivers matters, implying APSW is meant for specialized use cases requiring full feature parity with SQLite itself.
- APSW exposes SQLite's full C API to Python, unlike the standard sqlite3 module.
- Supports CPython 3.10+ and both synchronous and async programming models.
- Distributed via PyPI and GitHub under an OSI-approved open source license.
