Kodiologist <nonce0010...@arfer.net> added the comment: This bit me real bad. On Python 3.8, I wrote a program with `isolation_level = None` and `with db: …` and spent a long time figuring out why writes were so slow. Turns out that `with db` doesn't actually start a transaction in this case, as the documentation suggests it should. This issue is approaching the age of 10, so if there's still uncertainty about how the implementation or the interface should change, the docs should be clarified in the meantime.
I always thought the Python library turning off autocommit by default, contrary to SQLite's command-line interface, was needlessly surprising. I think it contributed to this problem because the docs about context managers seem to assume you have autocommit off. ---------- nosy: +Kodiologist _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue16958> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
