Here are my averagely general class methods for creating a dictionary from the
result of database queries:
def make_schema_dict(self):
schema = [i[2] for i in self.cursor.tables()
if i[2].startswith('tbl_') or i[2].startswith('vw_')]
self.schema = {table: {'scheme': [row.column_name for row
in self.cursor.columns(table)]}
for table in schema}
def last_table_query_as_dict(self, table):
return {'data': [{col: row.__getattribute__(col) for col in
self.schema[table]['scheme']
if col != 'RowNum'} for row in self.cursor.fetchall()]}
Unfortunately as you can see, there are many complications.
For example, when multiple tables are queried; some hackish lambdas are
required to generate the resulting dictionary.
Can you think of some more general methods?
(and yes I know this is against the PEP; and that this is also on SO)
