# Python Native API

IoTDB provides a Python native client driver and a session pool management mechanism. These tools allow developers to interact with IoTDB in a programmatic and efficient manner. Using the Python API, developers can encapsulate time-series data into objects (e.g., `Tablet`, `NumpyTablet`) and insert them into the database directly, without the need to manually construct SQL statements. For multi-threaded operations, the `TableSessionPool` is recommended to optimize resource utilization and enhance performance.

## 1. Prerequisites

To use the IoTDB Python API, install the required package using pip:

```shell
pip3 install apache-iotdb>=2.0
```
Note: Do not use a newer client to connect to an older server, as this may cause connection failures or unexpected errors.

## 2. Read and Write Operations

### 2.1 TableSession

`TableSession` is a core class in IoTDB, enabling users to interact with the IoTDB database. It provides methods to execute SQL statements, insert data, and manage database sessions.

#### Method Overview

| **Method Name**             | **Descripton**                                        | **Parameter Type**                   | **Return Type**  |
| --------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------ | ---------------- |
| insert                      | Inserts data into the database.                       | tablet: `Union[Tablet, NumpyTablet]` | None             |
| execute_non_query_statement | Executes non-query SQL statements like DDL/DML.       | sql: `str`                           | None             |
| execute_query_statement     | Executes a query SQL statement and retrieves results. | sql: `str`                           | `SessionDataSet` |
| close                       | Closes the session and releases resources.            | None                                 | None             |

#### Sample Code

```Python
class TableSession(object):
def insert(self, tablet: Union[Tablet, NumpyTablet]):
    """
    Insert data into the database.

    Parameters:
        tablet (Tablet | NumpyTablet): The tablet containing the data to be inserted.
                                       Accepts either a `Tablet` or `NumpyTablet`.

    Raises:
        IoTDBConnectionException: If there is an issue with the database connection.
    """
    pass

def execute_non_query_statement(self, sql: str):
    """
    Execute a non-query SQL statement.

    Parameters:
        sql (str): The SQL statement to execute. Typically used for commands
                   such as INSERT, DELETE, or UPDATE.

    Raises:
        IoTDBConnectionException: If there is an issue with the database connection.
    """
    pass

def execute_query_statement(self, sql: str, timeout_in_ms: int = 0) -> "SessionDataSet":
    """
    Execute a query SQL statement and return the result set.

    Parameters:
        sql (str): The SQL query to execute.
        timeout_in_ms (int, optional): Timeout for the query in milliseconds. Defaults to 0,
                                       which means no timeout.

    Returns:
        SessionDataSet: The result set of the query.

    Raises:
        IoTDBConnectionException: If there is an issue with the database connection.
    """
    pass

def close(self):
    """
    Close the session and release resources.

    Raises:
        IoTDBConnectionException: If there is an issue closing the connection.
    """

        connections. Ensure proper usage of the session's lifecycle.
    """

def close(self):
    """
    Close the session pool and release all resources.

    This method closes the underlying session pool, ensuring that all
    resources associated with it are properly released.

    Notes:

### 3.3 SSL Connection

#### 3.3.1 Server Certificate Configuration

In the `conf/iotdb-system.properties` configuration file, locate or add the following configuration items:

```
enable_thrift_ssl=true
key_store_path=/path/to/your/server_keystore.jks
key_store_pwd=your_keystore_password
```

#### 3.3.2 Configure Python Client Certificate

- Set `use_ssl` to True to enable SSL.
- Specify the client certificate path using the `ca_certs` parameter.

```
use_ssl = True
ca_certs = "/path/to/your/server.crt"  # 或 ca_certs = "/path/to/your//ca_cert.pem"
```
