6 sourcesThanks for the suggestion, I've created an issue to track this as I do agree that `ANY` conveys the operation more clearly.

In Show HN: Prisma Python – A fully typed ORM for PythonYes I am using the same approach however I am working on using native FFI bindings which is what the TypeScript client is using now.

In Show HN: Prisma Python – A fully typed ORM for PythonShow HN: 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 tested, getting around a potential concern with adopting a new ORM.
Prisma Python also supports PostgreSQL, SQLite, MongoDB, MariaDB and more!
