fullyhacks-py-sqlite

SQLite example in Python for the FullyHacks workshop.

Note

This example doesn't just use SQLite, but also uses Pydantic to bridge the SQLite table to Python objects in a more Pythonic way. For information on Pydantic, see Pydantic's documentation.

Important

The users table in the example is not secure: it stores passwords in plain text. In the real world, you should never store passwords in plain text. Use a secure hashing algorithm like bcrypt or PBKDF2 instead.

Learning

The SQLite example is in the example.py file. The example.py file contains a simple example of how to use SQLite in Python to manage tables and store and retrieve data.

If you're here for the FastAPI example, see example_fastapi.py for a simple example of how to use SQLite with FastAPI to create a simple RESTful API.

Running

First, ensure you have Python 3 installed. Then, enter the virtual environment and install the dependencies:

# Enter the virtual environment (instructions differ on Windows, see
# https://mothergeo-py.readthedocs.io/en/latest/development/how-to/venv-win.html)
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate

# Install the dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

Then, run the example:

python -m example

If you want to run the FastAPI example, run:

python -m example_fastapi

uvicorn example_fastapi:app --reload

Note

If python is not found, try python3 instead, or python.exe or python3.exe on Windows.

Note

We provide a Nix Flake file! Simply run nix develop to enter the development environment, install the dependencies, and run the example.
