import sqlite3
username=input(print("Username?"))
password=input(print("Password?"))
connection= sqlite3.connect("Logininfo.db")
c = connection.cursor()
IDuser=c.execute('SELECT Username, Password FROM LoginInfo WHERE Username= ? AND Password= ?', (username,password)).fetchone()
print(IDuser)
The data that should be returned from this code is "Hello1" and "Password1" (Without the quotemarks). Instead it outputs "('Hello1', 'Password1')".
A few questions, why does it do this?
How can I retrieve this data without the brackets and quotemarks i.e "('Hello1'," would become "Hello1"
The code also prints out "None" before asking for both the username and password why does it do this and how can I fix it?
To answer your first question, the quotes are there to tell you that it is a string. They are not actually a part of your username or password, so it shouldn't be a problem. Similarly, the brackets are there to tell you that this is a sequence (specifically, a tuple). Python has to get two strings to you, and this is the usual way in which it is done. If this causes a problem for you, then you need to explain why.
To answer your second question, None is printed because you're calling print() inside the input() functions. The return value of print() is None. Printing the prompt is already integral to input(), so there's no need to do that. Just input("Username?") will suffice.
fetchone() returns one "tuple" or the result of the queryset "object", you can access the individual values much like an array
try print(IDuser[0]) and it will print "Hello1".
Please refer to https://docs.python.org/2/library/sqlite3.html and search fetchone() call for more info.

I have the following python code:
placeholder = db.user.aggregate(...)
if len(list(placeholder))!=0:
#execute something
Now the issue is even if the mongo cursor doesn't have any documents, it still getting inside the if statement.
But if I am modifying the code as:
placeholder = list(db.user.aggregate(...))
if len(placeholder)!=0:
#execute something
its working normally.
even if pymongo cursor object is an iterator and it can be exhausted but the only thing I am doing is checking the length and converting it into a list. Can anyone please advice why its behaving this way in the first case.
Thanks in advance.
As long as the query is the same, the two statements are identical.
In the first query - how do you know there's no records. You exhaust the cursor without saving any results to look at. Also how is it possible that "the mongo cursor doesn't have any documents", while len(list(cursor)) returns a non-zero value.
If you are really stuck, post a Minimal Reproducible Example.
Beginner with Python but I wanted to use a list to contain multiple potential string responses that the user may give in the input.
def Front_Door():
print("Welcome to the Party Friend!")
Emotional_state = input("How are You Today? ")
Positive_Emotion = ["good", "fine", "happy"]
I tried to use an if statement to get python to check through my list to see if the input contained any of the strings listed in the e.g. I gave.
if Positive_Emotion in Emotional_state:
print("That's Great! Happy to have you here!")
The code still manages to prompt me for Emotional_state but it just repeats the question one more time, if I respond with one of then strings I've listed again it gives me this error:
if Positive_Emotion in Emotional_state:
TypeError: 'in <string>' requires string as left operand, not list
I'm guessing there is a method to make Python search through my list of strings and cross reference it with my inputs and give me the response I want?
Any help is appreciated :).
You are checking if the whole list is in the string!
What you probably want to do is check if any of the items in the list are in the string.
Something like:
if any( [emotion in Emotional_state for emotion in Positive_Emotion] ):
print("That's Great! Happy to have you here!")
This will check each emotion in the list, and if any of them are in the string it will return True.
Hope this helps.
I'm all too late to the party, but here are my two cents.
You only need Positive_Emotion and Emotional_state to switch places in your if statement, so that it becomes:
if Emotional_state in Positive_Emotion:
print("That's Great! Happy to have you here!")
I want to create a function that takes some chain of characters as an argument, and uses it as a str object.
def useless_function(argument) :
print(argument)
useless_function(banana)
--> NameError: name 'banana' is not defined
So this is what I did : I created a decorator that turns whatever I enter as argument into a str my function can print.
def decorator(f) :
def wrapper(arg_f) :
str_arg = str(arg)
f(str_arg)
return wrapper
So now I can decorate useless_function with my decorator, and useless_function(banana) will print 'banana'. And it will work with whatever it enter as an argument of useless_function.
My question is : is there a more elegant way or a simpler and faster way to do this automatic transformation into a string that can be used as an argument ?
Can you please elaborate because I don't understand what it is that you are looking for or saying.
If you mean: inside a function can you do input("variable")? Then the answer is yes. It is just essentially raw_input() from python2. The input from your keyboard will always be a str if I am not mistaken.
Update after edited post:
It is still not any more clear what you are trying to do.
At the end of the function, you do return * but I assume you know this.
I am really confused, but have you considered just doing str(argument)? As in takes_argument(str(argument))
2nd Update after 2nd edit:
I think I finally understand what you are trying to do, but I might be wrong.
Now, the problem is that def useless_function(argument) : will expect argument to be defined as a variable with some value(s). I am not aware of any other way than actually putting "argument" to tell python that what you are inserting is a string of characters rather than trying to reference some variable and its value. It is the same case as with print('something'), if I were to put print(something), python would try to look up the variable called something which you haven't defined.
Hope that makes sense.
Objective
All I am trying to do is retrieve a single record from a specific table where the primary key matches. I have a feeling I'm greatly over complicating this as it seems to be a simple enough task. I have a theory that it may not know the variable value because it isn't actually pulling it from the Python code but instead trying to find a variable by the same name in the database.
EDIT: Is it possible that I need to wrap my where clause in an expression statement?
Attempted
My Python code is
def get_single_record(name_to_search):
my_engine = super_secret_inhouse_engine_constructor("sample_data.csv")
print("Searching for " + name_to_search)
statement = my_engine.tables["Users"].select().where(my_engine.tables["Users"].c.Name == name_to_search)
# Print out the raw SQL so we can see what exactly it's checking for
print("You are about to run: " + str(statement))
# Print out each result (should only be one)
print("Results:")
for item in my_engine.execute(statement):
print(item)
I tried hard coding a string in its place.
I tried using like instead of where.
All to the same end result.
Expected
I expect it to generate something along the lines of SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE Name='Todd'.
Actual Result
Searching for Todd
STATEMENT: SELECT "Users"."Name", ...
FROM "Users"
WHERE "Users"."Name" = ?
That is an actual question mark appearing my statement, not simply my own confusion. This is then followed by it printing out a collection of all the records from the table, as though it successfully matched everything.
EDIT 2: Running either my own hard coded SQL string or the generated query by Alchemy returns every record from the table. I'm beginning to think the issue may be with the engine I've set up not accepting the query.
Why I'm Confused
According to the official documentation and third party sources, I should be able to compare to hardcoded strings and then, by proxy, be able to compare to a variable.
I'm having some trouble automating a matlab script which should prompt the user for the variable they are interested in, as well as the date range they want. I then want the script to concatenate their answers within a naming convention for the file they will ultimately load.
variable=input('please input variable of interest');
% temp
start=input('please state the start date in the form yymmdd: ');
%130418
enddate=input('please state the end date in the form yymmdd: ');
%140418
file=sprintf('%s_dailydata_%d_%d.csv',variable,start,enddate);
%so I thought 'file' would look like: temp_dailydata_130418_140418.csv
vardata=load(file);
the two numbers representing the dates are not causing any issues, but the fact that 'variable' is a string is. I know if I put apostrophes before and after 'temp' when I'm promted, it will work, but I have to assume that the end user won't know to do this. I tried putting curly braces around 'please input your variable..', but that didn't help either. Obviously this approach assumes that the date being requested exists in a filename.
Can anyone offer any advice? Perhaps the sprintf function is not the best option here?
Don't use 'end' as a variable name, it is a reserved name and using it could create conflicts with any function or logic block you're defining.
If you know your input is going to be a string: from the documentation for input()
str = input(prompt,'s')
Returns the entered text as a MATLAB string, without evaluating expressions.
As for knowing whether or not the file exists, that's something you'd have to incorporate some error logic for. Either a try/catch block with your load() call or you could use uigetfile() to get the filename.
