The sqlite3 module offers a mechanism to convert data from and to Python (semi-)transparently: import sqlite3 import json sqlite3.register_adapter(list, json.dumps) sqlite3.register_converter("list", json.loads) db = sqlite3.connect(":memory:", detect_types=sqlite3.PARSE_DECLTYPES) cursor = db.cursor() cursor.execute("create table data (value list)") cursor.execute("insert into data values (?)", ([11,22,33],)) for row in cursor.execute("select value from data"): print row See also: http://docs.python.org/library/sqlite3.html#converting-sqlite-values-to- custom-python-types Peter _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
