Add pydapper to database drivers

[zschumacher]

What is this project?

A micro ORM that provides more convenient methods for working with databases in python. Has both sync and async apis for multiple databases, see example below:

import asyncio
import datetime
from dataclasses import dataclass

from pydapper import connect_async


@dataclass
class Task:
    id: int
    description: str
    due_date: datetime.date
    owner_id: int


async def main():
    async with connect_async() as commands:
        data = await commands.query_async("select * from task limit 1", model=Task)

Why is it awesome?

• Provides a consistent interface for multiple dbapis
• Provides a consistent way to bind parameters across dbapis
• Uses SQL as the query language instead of an ORM-like API
• Provides lightweight object mapping to any object type, but typically used with pydantic, dataclasses, or dictionaries

@zschumacher can you share if the project still receives updates? Hasn't had a release in a while and also no development in a while. I wonder if we should really add it to the list. Feel free to share your perspective!

hey @timofurrer - yeah, I had a kid and slowed down a bit, but plan to pick it up more this year. Just cut a release, actually. We used it at Simplebet and now at DraftKings.
