== buzhug ==

[[http://buzhug.sourceforge.net/|buzhug]] is a pure-Python database engine, using a Pythonic, no-SQL syntax.

The data is stored and accessed on disk (it is not an in-memory database). The implementation has been designed to make all operations, and especially selection, as fast as possible with an interpreted language.

A limited benchmark using the same use cases as SQLite's author shows that buzhug is much faster than other pure-Python modules (KirbyBase, gadfly). SQLite, which is implemented in C, is faster, but only less than 3 times on the average.

== SnakeSQL ==

[[http://www.pythonweb.org/projects/snakesql/|SnakeSQL]] is a pure Python SQL database written to remove the dependence of the Python Web Modules on 3rd party drivers for non-Python databases like MySQL but designed to be a useful database in its own right.

Generic Database Interfaces and APIs

  • The Python standard for database interfaces is the Python DB-API (PEP 249) Most Python database interfaces adhere to this standard.

  • Most databases have ODBC support; see the section below on ODBC modules.
  • Java databases usually support JDBC, and can be used from Jython.
  • See also DbApiModuleComparison
