Re: [Tutor] sqlite3 Python25 parameter binding problem withUPDATEplease help
Thanks, Alan, for your advice.
I fully agree with you - I still need to understand basic Python (I
actually warned that I am a complete noob) and how it works. And
probably I need a couple of goof books.
I once told you that I consider your website an excellent one and I am
going there from time to time and will do it again.
Maybe I am trying to do the things which are too advanced for my level
of python knowledge - databases, web development, which I understand
are considered as advanced topics but the reason is that for me I need
a real project to work with to learn a programming language. That was
the case also with VBA (visual basic for applications) - learning for
the sake of learning almost never worked with me. It does not mean I
am an expert in VBA - far from it! But I had this project working with
MS Excel VBA+ MS SQL Server Express 2005 T-SQL - an automated
financial accounting consolidated reporting application. I am pumping
data from two remote Interbase/Firebird databases, putting it in a
local MS SQL Server DB, processing with T-SQL and doing the reporting
with Excel.
Now I am working to do the same with Python and SQLite at the same
time learning on my way them both. And if you work on a real thing
there are many bits and pieces which are coming up - and its not like
this 'spam' and 'egg' thing all the time.
Also I am completely self-taught in programming.
I see what was my problem in particular in this case and I understand
it now. And I will try not to bother people on this list too often. Or
If I do please feel free tell me to [EMAIL PROTECTED] off and do some more
reading!
Again, thank you Alan for the help!

[Tutor] Making a dictionary of dictionaries from csv file
Dear Python community,
I have been trying to create a dictionary of dictionaries (and more
dictionaries) from a csv file. The csv file contains longitudinal data
corresponding to names. The following is just a very (very) simple example of
how the data looks:
NameDayweighttemp
name114537
name135536
name215936
name233436.5
name316637
name338736.8
So far I have written this:
from csv import *
f=open('myfile.csv',"rt")
row={}
maindict={}
reader=DictReader(f)
for row in reader:
maindict[row['Name']=row
then I can access the weight of a given name like this:
wg=int(maindict[['name1']['weight'])
My question is the following:
How can I convert the csv to a dictionary that would have the following
structure?
maindict = {
'name1' : {
'Day' : {
1 : { 'weight' : '45', 'temp' : '37' } ,
3 : { 'weight' : '55', 'temp' : '36' }
}
},
'name2' : { . # and we repeat the same structure for the rest of the names.
}
>From my code above you can of course guess that it doesn't make beyond the
>level of name.
Thank you very much,
Judith

You should only get a very small number indeed!
for filename in names:
hash=os.system("md5 "+ filename)
dict[hash] = filename
os.system only returns the exit code of the command not
the output of the command. In most cases that will be 0 to
indicate no errors.
You need to use the subprocess module (or any of the older
alternatives such as popen) to fetch the actual output of the
command from stdout and assign it to hash.
But better still use one of the python modules to do the
hashing instead of calling the OS!
I think the hashlib module's md5 function does what you want.

I had to remove [year] braces from the second argument - year.
You really need to do some reading on basicv Python before
you go any further, otherwise you will never understand what
you are doing.
That is what I told you was wrong in the first place - you can't
pass a list of values (even of one value) into a database field.
But you obviously didn't realize that putting square brackets
(not braces which are {} and signify a dictionary) indicates
a list.
reason I used [] was the posts we exchanged recently (7th of
November)
about CGI script where it was recommended by Kent that I put []
around
string argument:
But that was an entirely different scenario, again you need to do some
basic level reading so that you understand what we are telling you.
Blindly using "poke and hope" techniques leads to an excercise
in frustration for you and us both.
The second argument to execute() is a *sequence* of parameter
values.
A string is a sequence of characters, so by passing a plain string
you
are saying that each character of the string is a parameter to the
SQL.
Try adding braces around the parameter to make list:
cur.execute("insert into test (name) values (?)", [sPath])
Notice, Kent told you to "make a list" by putting[] around
your string. But in that case the arument was looking for a sequence
(eg list) of values. In your case you were trying to insert a list of
values
into a single field which you can't do in normal SQL
Now the year argument is string so I thought I should do the same
again but it is not working.
Yes but it is a single string so you need to pass a single string.
In the previous case the SQL was looking for a list of arguments
but you passed a single string so the execute interpreted that
as a list of letters.
You must ensure that the arguments in the execute match
what the SQL is expecting. And that usually means both matching
what you defined the database to be and the nature of the operation.
The reason is of course is that I am new to python and there are so
many things to learn so the question really is why in this case
there
were no [] or () necessary?
See above, but you really need to take the time out to understand
the basics of Python.
Try reading my tutorial, in particular the "raw materials" topic
which covers the different Python data types. Then try my database
topic near the end. But ideally just take a few hours - literally an
afternoon will do - to go through any beginners tutorial. They will
all cover these elementary issues.
Perhaps but I think it is the list parameter that it doesn't
like.
Unless I misunderstand the syntax.

Hello again,
Finally I managed to get it working!
I had to remove [year] braces from the second argument - year. The
reason I used [] was the posts we exchanged recently (7th of November)

A string is a sequence of characters, so by passing a plain string you
are saying that each character of the string is a parameter to the

Try adding braces around the parameter to make list:
cur.execute("insert into test (name) values (?)", [sPath])

Unquote
Now the year argument is string so I thought I should do the same
again but it is not working.
The reason is of course is that I am new to python and there are so
many things to learn so the question really is why in this case there
were no [] or () necessary?

A single number each time it is called? And which noise profile should it follow? Or would it be a multi dimensional noise model? I don't know of any such function and I'm not sure wiothout more details how it would work in a general way even if it did exist. Can you give a speciofic example of what you expect? -- Alan Gauld Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.freenetpages.co.uk/hp/alan.gauld ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
[Tutor] cgi on novell/Appache
I have a cgi script that I want to get running on an Apache server running under Novel. I know absolutely nothing about novell. I need to have the first line of the script point to the Python interpretter, but have no idea where it is. (I don't have access to the server to play around on it. I have to change the script, give it to the admin guy and let him load it. He knows nothing about cgi, python, etc. ) What is the novel equivalent of "/usr/bin/python"?
