ormar-utils
Rust-accelerated utility functions for the ormar ORM
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you use ormar and want transparent performance gains. Install friction is moderate (compiled wheels, Python 3.10+ required), but pre-built wheels cover common platforms and the stable ABI eliminates per-version rebuilds. The package is actively maintained, has no security vulnerabilities, and carries a permissive MIT license. It is optional—ormar functions without it—so there is no downside to trying it if your platform is supported.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python >= 3.10.
- Pre-built wheels are available for macOS (x86_64, arm64), Linux (x86_64, aarch64), and Windows (x64); other platforms may require a Rust toolchain to build from source.
- Medium install friction due to compiled wheels; however, pre-built wheels target the stable ABI (abi3) for Python 3.10+, so a single wheel per platform works across current and future Python releases without per-version rebuilds.

What it is and what it does
ormar-utils is a companion package to the ormar async ORM that provides Rust-compiled versions of internal utility functions. It contains no runtime dependencies and is designed to be installed alongside ormar; when present, ormar automatically uses the faster Rust implementations for operations like encoding/decoding bytes and JSON, hashing, list/dict transformations, and merge planning.
The package is built as a compiled extension using the CPython stable ABI, meaning a single wheel per platform supports Python 3.10 and later without requiring separate builds for each Python version. It is optional—ormar works without it—but offers performance gains for workloads that heavily use the accelerated operations. The package is actively maintained, recently released, and carries no known security vulnerabilities.
Use it for
- Speed up ormar ORM queries and data transformations by installing Rust-accelerated utilities alongside ormar.
- Optimize performance-critical async database operations that rely on ormar's internal hashing and list-grouping functions.
- Reduce latency in applications using ormar by leveraging compiled Rust implementations of encoding/decoding and merge planning.
- Deploy ormar applications across multiple Python versions (3.10+) without rebuilding wheels, thanks to stable ABI compatibility.
- Improve throughput in high-volume data processing pipelines that use ormar's UniqueList and dict-translation utilities.
