Output pyodbc cursor results as python dictionary

Question

How do I serialize pyodbc cursor output (from .fetchone, .fetchmany or .fetchall) as a Python dictionary?

I\'m using bottlepy

Answer 1

For situations where the cursor is not available - for example, when the rows have been returned by some function call or inner method, you can still create a dictionary representation by using row.cursor_description

def row_to_dict(row):
    return dict(zip([t[0] for t in row.cursor_description], row))
