Prisma Python – A fully typed ORM for Python
I created this ORM to fill a gap in the Python ecosystem. Due to the nature of typing in Python there are no other Python ORMs that can provide correct type hints. Prisma Python manages to work around this by auto-generating python types. Aside from static type checking, providing type hints means that you will get autocomplete suggestions for you which for me is the killer feature for this ORM (see the GIF in the README for an example). It's also built on top of Prisma, a next-generation ORM for TypeScript which means that the core query building and connection handling has been battle…

In plain words
Prisma Python is a fully typed ORM for Python that auto-generates type hints for database models, enabling accurate static type checking and IDE autocomplete. Built on Prisma's proven TypeScript foundation, it addresses a gap in the Python ecosystem by providing correct typing that other ORMs lack. It supports multiple databases including PostgreSQL, SQLite, MongoDB, and MariaDB, making database queries more discoverable and developer-friendly.

Talanoa▲341Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
