Sqlite and Python — return a dictionary using fetchone()?

Question

I\'m using sqlite3 in python 2.5. I\'ve created a table that looks like this:

   create table votes (
      bill text,
      senator_id text,
      vote text)
<         


        

Answer 1

I've used this:

def get_dict(sql):
    return dict(c.execute(sql,()).fetchall())

Then you can do this:

c = conn.cursor()
d = get_dict("select user,city from vals where user like 'a%'");

Now d is a dictionary where the keys are user and the values are city. This also works for group by
