I've answered my own question - so I'll just post the answer here for anyone else who need it in the future... columns=2 # the number of columns needed - can be a python script parameter query="sql_myQuery" # the name of the ZSQL Method - can be a python script parameter # this is the line I had trouble with qresults = getattr(context, query)(var1=var1,var2=var2).dictionaries() # this is done to get a real list from the query results return [qresults[index:index+columns] for index in range(0,len(qresults),columns)] On Tue, 5 Oct 2004 13:38:18 +0100, Duane Raymond <duane.raymond@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi,

I'm trying to create a generic python script in Zope that will translate any SQL query into a dictionary. I've got it working when I put in the name of a specifc SQL query name, but I can't figure out the syntax/function to take a string that contains the ZSQL method name and use it in the code like I have below (which produces attribute errors):

columns=2 # the number of columns needed query = "sql_getMySQL()" myObject = getattr(context,query)

qresults=context.myObject.dictionaries() # this is done to get a real list

return [qresults[index:index+columns] for index in range(0,len(qresults),columns)]

Any suggestions?
