Part of the problem is that the 'selection' needs to be in a config file. I can put the if row['status'] != 'Cancelled': return True into a config, read it and eval it, but its not quite as clean as an sql route.
Still not clear what the restriction is. If you were writing SQL you'd have to read *something* from your config file, unless you're suggesting that the "config file" is in fact a SQL file. Which is one way of doing it, but then you might just as well have your config file as a Python file and import it. Have I missed the point somewhere here? Can you give an example -- even a fictional one -- of what you couldn't do using, say, the example I gave earlier? TJG -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
