# Example of Querying Data from Python

```python
import sqlite3

con = sqlite3.connect('thenameofyoursqlitedatabase.db')

cursor = con.cursor()

resultset = cursor.execute("SELECT * FROM yourtablename")

for row in resultset:
  print(row)
```

You can see the SQL code embedded in the Python code above. Essentially, the Python code is making a connection to the database and running the SQL code that the programmer specified.
