:mod:`psycopg2.extras` -- Miscellaneous goodies for Psycopg 2
=============================================================
.. sectionauthor:: Daniele Varrazzo <daniele.varrazzo@gmail.com>
.. module:: psycopg2.extras
.. testsetup::
import psycopg2.extras
from psycopg2.extras import Inet
create_test_table()
This module is a generic place used to hold little helper functions and
classes until a better place in the distribution is found.
.. index::
pair: Cursor; Dictionary
.. _dict-cursor:
Dictionary-like cursor
----------------------
The dict cursors allow to access to the retrieved records using an iterface
similar to the Python dictionaries instead of the tuples. You can use it
either passing :class:`DictConnection` as :obj:`!connection_factory` argument
to the :func:`~psycopg2.connect` function or passing :class:`DictCursor` as
the :class:`!cursor_factory` argument to the :meth:`~connection.cursor` method
of a regular :class:`connection`.
>>> dict_cur = conn.cursor(cursor_factory=psycopg2.extras.DictCursor)
>>> dict_cur.execute("INSERT INTO test (num, data) VALUES(%s, %s)",
... (100, "abc'def"))
>>> dict_cur.execute("SELECT * FROM test")
>>> rec = dict_cur.fetchone()
>>> rec['id']
1
>>> rec['num']
100
>>> rec['data']
"abc'def"
The records still support indexing as the original tuple:
>>> rec[2]
"abc'def"
