Appwrite Python

This is the server-side Python SDK for Appwrite, covering all the backend operations you'd need for Django, Flask, or FastAPI apps. It uses API keys for authentication and gives you straightforward access to user management, database CRUD (via the new TablesDB service), file storage, teams, and serverless functions. The docs are solid on the practical stuff: they're explicit about using keyword arguments over positional ones, explain the difference between varchar and text column types for row size optimization, and show you how to write function handlers with the context object. If you're building a Python backend with Appwrite and need to manage resources server-side, this covers the essentials without much ceremony.
