pysqlcipher
===========

this library is an experimental fork of pysqlite,
and is statically linked against sqlcipher.

Original code (c) 2004-2007 Gerhard Häring
Packaging for SQLCipher (c) 2013 Kali Kaneko

It uses a sqlcipher amalgamation, see https://www.sqlite.org/amalgamation.html

Usage
-----
You have to pass the ``PRAGMA=key`` before doing any operations::
  from pysqlcipher import dbapi2 as sqlite
  conn = sqlite.connect('test.db')
  c = conn.cursor()
  c.execute("PRAGMA key='test'")
  c.execute('''create table stocks (date text, trans text, symbol text, qty real, price real)''')
  c.execute("""insert into stocks values ('2006-01-05','BUY','RHAT',100,35.14)""")
  conn.commit()
  c.close()

You can quickly verify that your database file in indeed encrypted::
  hexdump -C test.db
