edgedb-python is the official EdgeDB driver for Python. It provides both blocking IO and asyncio implementations.

The library requires Python 3.8 or later.

Documentation

The project documentation can be found here <https://edgedb.com/docs/clients/00_python/index>_.

Installation

The library is available on PyPI. Use pip to install it::

$ pip install edgedb

Basic Usage

.. code-block:: python

import datetime
import edgedb

def main():
    client = edgedb.create_client()
    # Create a User object type
    client.execute('''
        CREATE TYPE User {
            CREATE REQUIRED PROPERTY name -> str;
            CREATE PROPERTY dob -> cal::local_date;
        }
    ''')

    # Insert a new User object
    client.query('''
        INSERT User {
            name := <str>$name,
            dob := <cal::local_date>$dob
        }
    ''', name='Bob', dob=datetime.date(1984, 3, 1))

    # Select User objects.
    user_set = client.query(
        'SELECT User {name, dob} FILTER .name = <str>$name', name='Bob')
    # *user_set* now contains
    # Set{Object{name := 'Bob', dob := datetime.date(1984, 3, 1)}}

    # Close the client.
    client.close()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()
