I'm trying to DRY my code. I have a controller like this:
def myindex():
import mymodule
query = (db.sometable.is_active==True)
select_fields = (db.sometable.id, db.sometable.name,
db.sometable.somefield)
mymodule.myindex(request, session, db, query, selectfields)
Then, in mymodule.py
from html import A, TABLE, THEAD, TH, TR, TD, URL
from dal import DAL, Field, Table, Row, CALLABLETYPES
def myindex(request, session, db, query, selectfields)
tbody = []
rows = db(query).select(selectfields)
fnames = []
for f in selectfields:
fnames.append(str(f).split('.')[-1] # pulling out the field name
for row in rows:
print row # Diagnostic - this is not a real Row object, just a
list of fields
tbody.append(row) ## EXCEPTION OCCURS HERE
I get a key error - can't find row.id
Can someone give a pointer to how to do this?
I suppose I can build the row set in my controller, but then it won't
be as DRY.
