Python MySQLDB: Get the result of fetchall in a list

I would like to get the result of the fetchall operation in a list instead of tuple of tuple or tuple of dictionaries. For example,

cursor = connection.cur         


        

Answer 1

I'm sure that after all this time, you've solved this problem, however, for some people who may not know how to get the values of a cursor as a dictionary using MySQLdb, you can use this method found here:

import MySQLdb as mdb

con = mdb.connect('localhost', 'testuser', 'test623', 'testdb')

with con:

    cur = con.cursor(mdb.cursors.DictCursor)
    cur.execute("SELECT * FROM Writers LIMIT 4")

    rows = cur.fetchall()

    for row in rows:
        print row["Id"], row["Name"]
