How to use APSW with Flask

Question

I have a sqlite3 database but the database is only getting updated when I restart the Flask server.

I think it is because I don't tell Flask that it is a database. So I started using SQLAlchemy and set

    db = SQLAlchemy(app)

but SQLAlchemy uses pysqlite2 and pysqlite2 will not work on my computer.

Is there a way to use APSW (another python sqlite3 wrapper) with SQLALchemy?

Or is there a way to tell flask to use my database without SQLAlchemy?

or is my problem of the database not updating fixed another way?

Answer 1

Just use this flask tutorial. It uses sqlite and there is no use of sqlalchemy.
