The standard for accessing a database in Python is the Python DB-API. This specifies a set of standard interfaces for modules that wish to allow Python to access a specific database. The standard is described in PEP 249 (https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0249)—a PEP is a Python Enhancement Proposal. This chapter introduces the Python DB-API.
