Asynchronous MySQL in Python: Twistar 1.0

Posted 18 Jun 2011 to python, twisted, twistar project and has Comments

After a few more updates and contributions, I’ve finally decided to release version 1.0 of Twistar. The recent work and contributions have brought it in line with what I consider to be a feature rich enough library ready for a version one release.

Description from the website:

Twistar is a Python implementation of the active record pattern (also known as an object-relational mapper or ORM) that uses the Twisted framework’s RDBMS support to provide a non-blocking interface to relational databases.

Twistar currently features:

A thoroughly asynchronous API
Object validations (and support for the easy creation of new validation methods)
Support for callbacks before saving / creating / updating / deleting
Support for object relational models that can be queried asynchronously
A simple interface to DBAPI objects
A framework to support any relational database that has a module that implements the Python Database API Specification v2.0 (MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite are all supported now)
Support for object polymorphism
Unit tests
