Hello All,
I have a session object, for instance:
my_object = session.query(Person).filter_by(name='MYSELF').first()
I know I can access to its attributes to modify the database:
my_object.name = 'YOURSELF'
my_object.town = 'PARIS'
Is there a way to access its attributes on another way ?
The point is that I have a dictionary that records all values of
several textcontrols (with wxPython):
my_dict = {'name':'YOURSELF', 'town':'PARIS'} etc
I would like to link (with a loop) the keys of this dictionary with
the attributes of the session object, without having to
write again all the attributes (my_object.name = my_dict['name'] etc )
since there are a lot.
I tried to loop like this without success:
for (key,value) in my_dict.iteritems():
my_object.key = value # my_object[key] = value doesn't
work either
Thanks in advance for any hints and sorry for the low level of my
question !
Python provides the setattr() function to assign object attributes
by string expression:
for k, v in dict.iteritems():
setattr(obj, k, v)
There is also the __dict__ attribute present on objects which can also
be written to in the general case, but in SQLAlchemy we need you to
use the attribute's public interface, i.e. setattr(), in order for
SQLAlchemy's change events to take place.
