Hi! I would sugest you to wrap the conn variable inside a with statement as described in the docs! 😃

Do you by chance know how to make this work with SQLAlchemy?

you could just beam the password into the computer

correction: 'raw_input()' not 'input()'

Actually, you are correct the first time. It is now input().

Awesome, thanks!
