AI interpretation — verify before relying

AI-generated interpretation of the package facts above; every digit, version, license, or vulnerability id it cites is grounded in the facts already shown on this page

SQLAlchemy-Utils provides utility functions, custom data types, and helpers that extend SQLAlchemy's core functionality for common database operations and model patterns.

Low friction: pure Python wheel with only SQLAlchemy as a runtime dependency. Actively maintained with recent releases and 1342 GitHub stars.

BSD-3-Clause permissive license allows commercial and private use with minimal restrictions—suitable for most projects.

Usage

pip install SQLAlchemy-Utils
from sqlalchemy_utils import URLType
from sqlalchemy import Column, create_engine
from sqlalchemy.orm import declarative_base

Base = declarative_base()
class User(Base):
    __tablename__ = 'users'
    website = Column(URLType)

Requires SQLAlchemy as a runtime dependency; Python 3.9 or later.
