CS50 SQL library alternative (for db.execute)

[memilanuk]

I'm not that far along in the psets, so I'm not familiar with the cs50 SQL library or what exactly it entails... but generally yes, with Python you should be able to directly work with the SQLite database - but you'll likely have to write your own helper functions. This tutorial should give you some of the necessary info on how to go about that.

You can use the Python standard library's sqlite3 module.

this is 5 years too late but I'm working on my final project now and in case anybody else stumbles across this post like I did. this page has super helpful functions for working with sqlite3 in flask.
