Python to AstDB connect

import sqlite3 # it's standard library

Learn name of the table and its structure:
connector = sqlite3.connect("/var/lib/asterisk/astdb.sqlite3")
cursor = connector.cursor()
cursor.execute("select sql from sqlite_master where type = 'table'")
print(cursor.fetchall())

cursor.close()
con.close()
