Fetching dictionary result from database in Python Date: December 11, 2008  Tags: python    Comments(0)

Python's current database api doesn't contain any function like "fetchDict" to get data as dictionary.I've looked for a simple solution and coded a lambda function to turn tuples into dictionaries.Example; result = [(6,'the foundation','isaac asimov')] cols = ('book_id','book_name','author_name') # column names of "books" table Built-in zip function merges arrays and tuples; >>> [ dict(zip(cols,row)) for row in result ] [{'author_name': 'isaac asimov', 'book_name': 'the foundation', 'book_id': 6}] And here is the lambda I coded: lambda keys,values: [ dict(zip(keys,row)) for row in values ]

pi.comet's python module is available Date: March 21, 2008  Tags: cherrypy , comet , django , javascript , pi , python    Comments(2)

I coded a python module to get cross browser output and a CherryPy example is available too.You can get these files in downloads list.

You can use this module with any python web framework but there are some problems.Firstly, Django doesn't support multi-threading.And there is no shared hosting for CherryPy ( Webfaction runs CherryPy with CGI, sys.stdout.flush function doesn't work on that application ) I hope we have got more comet friendly web frameworks in the future.
