wherobots-python-dbapi

Python DB-API implementation for Wherobots DB. This package implements a PEP-0249 compatible driver to programmatically connect to a Wherobots DB runtime and execute Spatial SQL queries.

Installation

If you use Poetry in your project, add the dependency with poetry add:

$ poetry add wherobots-python-dbapi

Otherwise, just pip install it:

$ pip install wherobots-python-dbapi

Usage

Basic usage

Basic usage follows the typical pattern of establishing the connection, acquiring a cursor, and executing SQL queries through it:

from wherobots.db import connect
from wherobots.db.region import Region
from wherobots.db.runtime import Runtime

with connect(
        api_key='...',
        runtime=Runtime.SEDONA,
        region=Region.AWS_US_WEST_2) as conn:
    curr = conn.cursor()
    curr.execute("SHOW SCHEMAS IN wherobots_open_data")
    results = curr.fetchall()
    print(results)

The Cursor supports the context manager protocol, so you can use it within a with statement when needed:

with connect(...) as conn:
    with conn.cursor() as curr:
        curr.execute(...)
        results = curr.fetchall()

It also implements the close() method, as suggested by the PEP-2049 specification, to support situations where the cursor is wrapped in a contextmanager.closing().

Runtime and region selection

You can chose the Wherobots runtime you want to use using the runtime parameter, passing in one of the Runtime enum values. For more information on runtime sizing and selection, please consult the Wherobots product documentation.

The only supported Wherobots compute region for now is aws-us-west-2, in AWS's Oregon (us-west-2) region.

Advanced parameters

The connect() method takes some additional parameters that advanced users may find useful:
