quick python / couch question
My appologies if this isn't the right place...and yes I'm a neub at things
both python and couch so I'll be greatly appreciative for any info
available.
I'm currently trying to get a python object to convert to a couch document
to submit to the DB - but can't seem to find a good way to do it.
for example:
Id like to convert the following python document:
{'username':'johnsmith','date'":(2009, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 3, 1, -1), 'names':
{'lname':'smith','birtdate':(1974, 1, 20, 0, 0, 0, 3, 1, -1),
'fname':'tim'}}
I'd like to write this directly to a couchDB - and I've tried jsonpickle,
and looked all through couchdb.schema, but again am new at python and couch.
I can see the dicts, and I know I can convert from a couchdoc to python
automatically -- what am I missing.
Again - thanks,
Adam

Allan. there is a couchdb lib for twisted. Google should help you
find this. It is basic though and without the features of clenz's
couchdb lib. I am also a twisted fan btw.

David

I was indeed talking about Paisley, I had forgotten what it was called.
Offhand do you think it should still work with the current couchdb API?
I think I will dig out my old code that was using it and see if I can
push it on a bit.

Hi Alan,
Are you talking about Paisley or some other twisted python couchdb
library?
If you're talking about Paisley the simple answer is that no one has
filed bugs against it and I haven't been using it so I haven't been
developing it. If you're interested in adding features or fixing bugs
you're welcome to go to https://launchpad.net/~paisley-dev/+join and
join the Paisley Developers team.

Has anyone given the twisted python library any love recently? last time
I checked it was almost growing attachment handling (as was couchdb) or
is there a way to do twisted type programming with deferred events with
the couchdb-python library.

I very much appreciate it ... thank you
I thought I tried that, and got a "cannot convert (<datevalue>)" to json...
I figured out that I can convert using jsonpickle and then do a db.save in
that case...but I probably tried to use update or doc.store
Flying by the seat of my pants with 3 weeks python experience getting a
proof of concept so we can use CouchDB as our main datasource.
So thanks again!

Are you using the couchdb-python libary,
http://code.google.com/p/couchdb-python/ ?
Since you mention couchdb.schema, I assume that you are. I would go
with the standard interface as suggested by Paul.

Adam,
This should be as simple as:
import couchdb
server = couchdb.Server("http://127.0.0.1:5984")
db = server.create("test_db")
data = create_my_data_object()
db.save(data)
# or with a specified docid
db["my_docid"] = data
HTH,
Paul Davis
