Trying to work with data from a query using Python.

Hello, I'm working with PostgreSQL and Python to obtain 2 columns froma database and need to print it in a specific format.

Here is my current code.



#!/usr/bin/python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

import psycopg2
import sys

con = None

try:

con = psycopg2.connect(database='DB', user='ME', password='1234')

cur = con.cursor()
cur.execute(" select Account_Invoice.amount_untaxed, right (Res_Partner..vat,length(Res_Partner.vat)-2) as RFC from Account_Invoice inner join Res_Partner on Account_Invoice.partner_id = Res_Partner.id inner join Account_Invoice_Tax on Account_Invoice.id = Account_Invoice_Tax.invoice_id whereaccount_invoice.journal_id=2 and account_invoice.date_invoice >= '2013-01-01' and account_invoice.date_invoice <= '2013-02-01' and account_invoice.reconciled is TRUE and account_invoice_tax.account_id = 3237 and account_invoice.amount_tax >= 0;")

rows = cur.fetchall()

for row in rows:
print row


except psycopg2.DatabaseError, e:
print 'Error %s' % e
sys.exit(1)


finally:

if con:
con.close()




Now assume that fetchall would print the following:

LOEL910624ND5 from the column vat as RFC.
227 from the column amount_untaxed.


Now I would need to print that in the following format.

04|85|LOEL910624ND5|||||227|||||||||||||||

04 always goes in the first column and 85 always goes in the second, vat goes in the third and the amount_untaxed goes in the eight column but we still need to have 22 columns in total.

I doubt if fetchall() prints anything. presumably it returns something,
extracted from the db.

LOEL910624ND5 from the column vat as RFC.
227 from the column amount_untaxed.


Now I would need to print that in the following format.

04|85|LOEL910624ND5|||||227|||||||||||||||

04 always goes in the first column and 85 always goes in the second, vat goes in the third and the amount_untaxed goes in the eight column but we still need to have 22 columns in total.

I don't use psycopg2, and I'd suggest few others here do either.

Since the problem has nothing to do with psycopg2, could you simplify
the problem? Whatever fetchall() returns, it's presumably either a dict
or list. Or is it a list of lists?

Find out what kind of data it is, and stub it with something like:

rows = ["ab", "127"]

Then if you define what the items in that list (or whatever) are
supposed to mean, we can tell you how to stick all those pipe-symbols
between. One likely answer would be the csv module.

04 always goes in the first column and 85 always goes in the second, vat
goes in the third and the amount_untaxed goes in the eight column but we
still need to have 22 columns in total.

Keep it simple:

COLUMN_COUNT = 22
TEMPLATE = "04|85|{0}|||||{1}|||||||||||||||"
assert TEMPLATE.count("|") == COLUMN_COUNT -1, "You cannot count "

for row in cur.fetchall():
print TEMPLATE.format(*row)

A bit more general:

fill_rows(rows):
out_row = [""] * 22
out_row[0] = "04"
out_row[1] = "85"

for row in rows:
out_row[2], out_row[7] = row
# copying not necessary here, but let's play it safe
yield out_row[:]

writer = csv.writer(sys.stdout, delimiter="|")
writer.writerows(fill_rows(cur.fetchall()))

All untested code.
