Welcome to the python-comdb2 documentation!

comdb2 Python interfaces to Comdb2 databases

This package provides Python interfaces to Comdb2 databases.

Two different Python submodules are provided for interacting with Comdb2 databases. Both submodules work from Python 2.7+ and from Python 3.5+.

comdb2.dbapi2 provides an interface that conforms to the Python Database API Specification v2.0. If you’re already familiar with the Python DB-API, or if you intend to use libraries that expect to be given DB-API compliant connections, this module is likely to be the best fit for you. Additionally, if a better way of communicating with a Comdb2 database than libcdb2api is ever introduced, this module will be upgraded to it under the hood.

comdb2.cdb2 provides a thin, pythonic wrapper over cdb2api. If you’re more familiar with libcdb2api than with the Python DB-API and you don’t anticipate a need to interact with libraries that require DB-API compliant connections, this module may be simpler to get started with.
