Python MySQLDB: Get the result of fetchall in a list

Question

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

Make your cursor object in this manner:

db = MySQLdb.connect("IP", "user", "password", "dbname")

cursor = db.cursor(MySQLdb.cursors.DictCursor)

Then when you perform cursor.fetchall() on a query, a tuple of dictionaries will be obtained, which you can later convert to a list.

data = cursor.fetchall()

data = list(data)
