+# RECIPE STARTS HERE
+#: After verifying the basic driver functionality, we can use the
+#: ``adbc_driver_manager`` Python package's built-in dbapi implementation
+#: to expose a ready-to-go Pythonic database API. This is also useful for
+#: high-level testing!
+#:
+#: First, we'll import pathlib for a few path calculations and the
+#: ``adbc_driver_manager``'s ``dbapi`` module:
+from pathlib import Path
+
+from adbc_driver_manager import dbapi
+#: Next, we'll define a ``connect()`` function that wraps ``dbapi.connect()``
+#: with the location of the shared library we built using ``cmake`` in the previous
+#: section. For the purposes of our tutorial, this will be in the CMake ``build/``
+#: directory.
+def connect(uri: str):
+    build_dir = Path(__file__).parent / "build"
+    for lib in [
+        "libdriver_example.dylib",
+        "libdriver_example.so",
+        "driver_example.dll",
+    ]:
+        driver_lib = build_dir / lib
+        if driver_lib.exists():
+            return dbapi.connect(
+                driver=str(driver_lib.resolve()), db_kwargs={"uri": uri}
+            )
+
+    raise RuntimeError("Can't find driver shared object")
+#: Next, we can give our driver a go! The two pieces we implemented in the driver
+#: were the "bulk ingest" feature and "select all from", so let's see if it works!
+if __name__ == "__main__":
+    import pyarrow
+    import os
+
+    with connect(uri=Path(__file__).parent.as_uri()) as con:
+        data = pyarrow.table({"col": [1, 2, 3]})
