APSW stands for Another Python SQLite Wrapper.

About

APSW is a Python wrapper for the SQLite <https://sqlite.org/>__ embedded relational database engine. It focuses translating between the complete SQLite C API and Python's C API. It is recommended to use the builtin sqlite3 module <https://docs.python.org/3/library/sqlite3.html>, unless you want SQLite specific functionality. The documentation <https://rogerbinns.github.io/apsw/pysqlite.html> has a section on the differences between APSW and sqlite3. APSW supports CPython 3.6 onwards:

A release <https://www.rogerbinns.com/blog/apsw-ending-python2early3.html>__ from January 2022 supports all CPython versions back to 2.3. The tips <https://rogerbinns.github.io/apsw/tips.html>__ include more information about versions.
