Mapping result rows to namedtuple in python sqlite

Question

I am playing a bit with the python api for sqlite3, i have a little table for store languages with an id, name and creation_date fields. I am trying to map the raw query res

Answer 1

An improved row_factory is actually this, which can be reused for all sorts of queries:

from collections import namedtuple

def namedtuple_factory(cursor, row):
    """Returns sqlite rows as named tuples."""
    fields = [col[0] for col in cursor.description]
    Row = namedtuple("Row", fields)
    return Row(*row)

conn = sqlite3.connect(":memory:")
conn.row_factory = namedtuple_factory
cur = con.cursor()
