Toptal’s GitHub Organization Hijacked: 10 Malicious Packages Published
Threat actors hijacked Toptal’s GitHub org, publishing npm packages with malicious payloads that steal tokens and attempt to wipe victim systems.
Alternative approach to database API with full native async support and connection pool.
This library provides better, more robust database API with strong enforcement of transaction logic when working with relational databases.
Currently, only MySQL (aiomysql) is supported, but support for other databases should be easy to implement, when required.
API documentation is available at https://asyncdb.gcm.cz/
pip install gcm-asyncdb
from asyncdb.aiomysql import TransactionFactory, MySQLConfig
db = TransactionFactory(MySQLConfig(
host='localhost',
user='root',
database='test'
))
async def main():
async with db.transaction() as t:
await t.query('CREATE TABLE test (id INT PRIMARY KEY, name VARCHAR(255))')
await t.query('INSERT INTO test (id, name) VALUES (1, "test")')
result = await t.query('SELECT * FROM test')
async for row in result.fetch_all_dict():
print(row)
await t.commit()

This library is still very new, but grew from multiple projects where it gradually evolved. So it is already used in production, but it is still recommended to test it thoroughly before using it in production.
Historically, there has been problems with losing connections from connection pool in rare unpredictable error cases, it seems to be resolved now, but there is no regression test for this, so be careful.
Feel free to open an issue or a pull request.
