Well depending on what sql database you are using you can pip install pymssql for microsoft sql (mssql), psycopg2 for postgres (psql) or mysqldb for mysql databases Here are a few examples of using it

Microsoft sql

import pymssql  conn = pymssql.connect(server=server, user=user, password=password, database=db) cursor = conn.cursor()  cursor.execute("SELECT COUNT(MemberID) as count FROM Members WHERE id = 1") row = cursor.fetchone()  conn.close()  print(row) 

Postgres

import psycopg2  conn = psycopg2.connect(database=db, user=user, password=password, host=host, port="5432") cursor = conn.cursor()  cursor.execute('SELECT COUNT(MemberID) as count FROM Members WHERE id = 1') row = cursor.fetchone()  conn.close()  print(row) 

mysql

import MySQLdb  conn = MySQLdb.connect(host=host, user=user, passwd=passwd, db=db) cursor = conn.cursor()  cursor.execute('SELECT COUNT(MemberID) as count FROM Members WHERE id = 1') row = cursor.fetchone()  conn.close()  print(row)
