Unlike traditional ORMs where you write queries in Python, Prisma generates the client from your schema, enabling IDE autocompletion and compile-time type checking. It supports both async and sync workflows, atomic updates, relational queries, and batching, with backends for PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, CockroachDB, and experimental support for MongoDB and SQL Server.\n\nThe package is built on Rust-based Prisma internals but requires no Node.js or TypeScript knowledge\u2014you define your models in a simple schema language and run `prisma db push` to sync and generate. However, the repository is now archived and abandoned, with the last commit in April 2025 and no ongoing maintenance. This means no new features, no active bug fixes, and potential incompatibility with future Python or database versions.","worth_installing":"Yes-with-conditions. Prisma Client Python is well-designed and offers genuine advantages in type safety and autocompletion if your team uses Pylance/Pyright. However, the repository is archived and abandoned\u2014install only if you are maintaining an existing project or willing to fork and maintain it yourself. For new projects, strongly consider an actively maintained alternative like SQLAlchemy or Tortoise ORM to avoid future compatibility and security risks."},"id":"prisma","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/prisma","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/prisma.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/prisma/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-08-16","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"prisma","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Prisma Client Python is an auto-generated and fully type-safe database client"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":865075,"position":4865,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.15.0"}
