I expect it to be iterable because most Python objects are iterable. :) It
makes using them easy.
I guess there are a few things it could return if it was iterable:
1) It could return a a column name. This would be useful if sqlobject also
allowed you to use subscript notation to get a value. Essentially this
would simulate a dictionary without having to do an asDict.
2) It could return an array or tuple of two or three elements. If two
elements, return column name and value. Or if you decide type is important
return three elements: column name, type, and value.
Thanks for the suggestions of columnList and asDict. Neither of these
suggestions appear in the documentation! :) (columnList is mentioned---but
in a different context). As I'm not using magic attributes I'll use
asDict.
Thanks
