import couchdb
db_name = strftime("%Y%m%d.%H%M%S")
couch = couchdb.Server('http://127.0.0.1:5984')
db.save = couch.create(db_name)I have tried removing the period as well and that did not seem to work. If I statically assign a value to db_name as opposed to using a command (db_name = 'abc123') everything seems to work. Ultimately my goal is to be able to create dynamic databases, so if anyone has any ideas, I am open. Randall Leeds wrote:
Maybe you can show us what you tried that didn't work? Perhaps it's just that a period ('.') is not allowed in a database name.

I currently use python for the bulk of my scripting and would like to start using couch for the database. The challenge I am up against is that I am trying to create a database based on a variable within a python script. I have tried using the couchdb library and I have not been successful in using it with variable substitution. As an example, I would like to create a new database each time the script is run. The database name will be a time stampdb_name = strftime("%Y%m%d.%H%M%S") print db_name20101201.114428 Is there a way to create the database either directly using the actual command or through variable substitution?
