I actually figured out the solution to my problem, of all times, right
after I finished sending this mail. It seems P4Python returns a command
as a dictionary, also inside of an array. The solution is in the
following code:
from P4 import P4, P4Exception
p4 = P4()
p4.port = "rsgnwep4s1:1666"
p4.user = "mfielding"
try:
p4.connect()
info = p4.run("info")
info = info[0]
print info
s = info['serverVersion']
print s
p4.disconnect()
except P4Exception:
for e in p4.errors:
print e

Subject: Unable to lookup keys in dictionary
I am trying to run p4python API on top of python 2.5.2 and am extracting
a dictionary from perforce. The following code returns the output that
follows it:
from P4 import P4, P4Exception
p4 = P4()
p4.port = "erased" #deleted
p4.user = "erased" #deleted
try:
p4.connect()
info = p4.run("info")
print info
p4.disconnect()
except P4Exception:
for e in p4.errors:
print e
Output:
[{'userName': 'mfielding', 'clientRoot': 'c:\\perforce',
'monitor': 'enabled',
'serverRoot': 'H:\\p4root\\', 'serverVersion':
'P4D/NTX64/2007.3/143793 (2008/01/
21)', 'serverDate': '2008/08/12 11:18:56 -0400 Eastern Daylight
Time', 'clientAd
dress': '10.24.20.97:1918', 'serverLicense': 'Mad Doc Software,
Inc. 140 users (
support expired 2008/05/31) ', 'serverAddress':
'rsgnwep4s1.rockstar.t2.corp:166
6', 'clientHost': 'nwew-mfielding', 'security': 'enabled',
'password': 'enabled'
, 'clientName': 'mfielding'}]
I did this to test that I was receiving a dictionary back from the
server, which I clearly am. I then followed by adding the following
lines to the code:
print info
s = info[serverVersion]
print s
p4.disconnect()
I would expect this to print out P4D/NTX64/2007.3/143793 (2008/01/23),
but instead it spits out the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "test.py", line 10, in <module>
s = info[serverVersion]
NameError: name 'serverVersion' is not defined
Changing "s = info[serverVersion]" to "s = info['serverVersion']" only
gives me another error, which is:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "test.py", line 10, in <module>
s = info['serverVersion']
TypeError: list indices must be integers
If anyone has any idea what is going on here, I would appreciate the
help. I've spent a few hours over the past two days trying to figure
this little quirk out, but to no avail.
