It actually returns a list of tuples.

Keep it simple:

COLUMN_COUNT = 22
TEMPLATE = "04|85|{0}|{1}|||"
assert TEMPLATE.count("|") == COLUMN_COUNT -1, "You cannot count ;)"

for row in cur.fetchall():
print TEMPLATE.format(*row)

A bit more general:

fill_rows(rows):
out_row = [""] * 22
out_row[0] = "04"
out_row[1] = "85"

for row in rows:
out_row[2], out_row[7] = row
# copying not necessary here, but let's play it safe
yield out_row[:] 

writer = csv.writer(sys.stdout, delimiter="|")
writer.writerows(fill_rows(cur.fetchall()))

All untested code.

Now assume that fetchall would print the following:

04 always goes in the first column and 85 always goes in the second, vat goes

I don't use psycopg2, and I'd suggest few others here do either.

Since the problem has nothing to do with psycopg2, could you simplify 
the problem?  Whatever fetchall() returns, it's presumably either a dict 
or list.  Or is it a list of lists?


Find out what kind of data it is, and stub it with something like:

rows = ["ab", "127"]

Then if you define what the items in that list (or whatever) are 
supposed to mean, we can tell you how to stick all those pipe-symbols 
between.  One likely answer would be the csv module.

Trying to work with data from a query using Python.

2013-06-07 Thread ethereal_robe
Hello, I'm working with PostgreSQL and Python to obtain 2 columns froma  
database and need to print it in a specific format.

Here is my current code.



#!/usr/bin/python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

import psycopg2
import sys

con = None

try:
 
con = psycopg2.connect(database='DB', user='ME', password='1234')  

cur = con.cursor()
cur.execute(" select Account_Invoice.amount_untaxed, right 
(Res_Partner.vat,length(Res_Partner.vat)-2) as RFC from Account_Invoice inner 
join Res_Partner on Account_Invoice.partner_id = Res_Partner.id inner join 
Account_Invoice_Tax on Account_Invoice.id = Account_Invoice_Tax.invoice_id 
where account_invoice.journal_id=2 and account_invoice.date_invoice >= 
'2013-01-01' and account_invoice.date_invoice <= '2013-02-01' and 
account_invoice.reconciled is TRUE and account_invoice_tax.account_id = 3237 
and account_invoice.amount_tax >= 0;")

rows = cur.fetchall()

for row in rows:
print row


except psycopg2.DatabaseError, e:
print 'Error %s' % e
sys.exit(1)


finally:

if con:
con.close()




Now assume that fetchall would print the following:

LOEL910624ND5 from the column vat as RFC.
227 from the column amount_untaxed.


Now I would need to print that in the following format.

04|85|LOEL910624ND5|227|||

04 always goes in the first column and 85 always goes in the second, vat goes 
in the third and the amount_untaxed goes in the eight column but we still need 
to have 22 columns in total.
