Setup

As Prisma Client Python supports generating both async and non-async clients, there is some differences required when generating the client.

Installing

Prisma Client Python can be installed from PyPi with pip

pip install prisma

Asyncio

Schema

generator client {
  provider             = "prisma-client-py"
  interface            = "asyncio"
  recursive_type_depth = 5
}

Boilerplate

The minimum code required to get starting using asyncio:

import asyncio
from prisma import Prisma

async def main() -> None:
    db = Prisma()
    await db.connect()

    # write your queries here

    await db.disconnect()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    asyncio.run(main())

Synchronous client

Schema

generator client {
  provider             = "prisma-client-py"
  interface            = "sync"
  recursive_type_depth = 5
}

Boilerplate

The minimum code required to get starting using a synchronous client:

from prisma import Prisma

def main() -> None:
    db = Prisma()
    db.connect()

    # write your queries here

    db.disconnect()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()
