[Tutor] if/then statement and sql count rows
Hi All,
I'm attempting to perform an if then statement based on the results of a
sql count rows query. The query is returning the proper values however the
if/then statement seems to be ignoring the returned value of the sql
statement.
Here is my code.
import sqlite3
# Define SQL statement to select all Data from Column Name
sql = "SELECT Count(*) FROM arbtable WHERE Name = ?"
book_name = 'Winged Coat'
class PriceCheck(object):
def __init__(self, db):
self.conn = sqlite3.connect(db)
self.c = self.conn.cursor()
def query(self, arg, cardname):
self.c.execute(arg, cardname)
return self.c
def __del__(self):
self.conn.close()
def display():
#Connect To DB and Get Price of Matched book.
getbookprice = PriceCheck("arbbase.sqlite")
for row in getbookprice.query(sql, ([book_name])):
if row == 0:
print 'no row was found'
else:
print 'Yep its there!'
print row
display()
The program here is that my result, as evidenced by "print row" at the
bottom of the code is 0. Since it is zero according to my if statement it
should print 'no row was found', but instead it prints the else statement
value of 'yes its there!'
I've researched extensively and think that possibly the fetchone statement
is what I need, but I can't seem to figure out how to properly apply this
to my code to test it.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thank you kindly
Sour Jack

Please post your code the way you're going to run it, like one statement
per line, indented as required, etc.
Your problem is you're comparing an int (number) to a list (green_number
or red_number or black_number). They'll never be equal so it won't
print anything.
presumably you don't want to know if the number is equal to the list,
but whether it's in the list. The "in" operator will tell you that.
Something like:
if number in green_numbers:
(I changed it to plural, so it'd be more obvious that it's not a single
value, but a list of them. Little things like that can make errors much
easier to spot.)

The first problem is that you are posting in HTML which is losing
all the code formatting, making it hard to read.
Also you don't actually tell us what doesn't work. If you get an
error message post it. If you get different results to what you
expect tell us what you expect and what you got.
For now I'll take a guess below...
number = int(input('Enter a number between 0 and 36: '))
green_number = (0)
red_number = (1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 12, 14, 16, 18, 19, 21, 23, 25, 27, 30, 32,
34, 36)
black_number = (2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 11, 13, 15, 17, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 34,
29, 31, 33, 35)
if number == green_number:
print('Number is Green')
elif number == red_number:
print('Number is Red')
elif number == black_number:
print('Number is Black')
Note that you are testing the number for equality, which means it
must be exactly the same value.
But your red_number and black_number are both tuples of several
numbers so a single number will never equal a sequence of numbers.
You should use the 'in' test instead of equals.
Like
if number in red_number:

You are returning the cursor object here.
That's probably not what the user of your code wants,
it would be better to return the actual result.
You can get that using fetchone() or fetchall()
Since count() can only return one value fetchone()
would be best here.

The fact that _ and __ are intended as throw away values is only clear to people who have read a particular doc about coding styles. If you haven't read the doc, you don't know what is going on. I name my throw away variables junk, and if there are lots of them, for instance when I am reading from a list of tuples, but only care about the fourth item in each tuple, its 'junk1, junk2, junk3 ...'

Re: [Tutor] Questions (and initial responses) on using version control: Why cannot I push my single (master) branch to origin without an error occurring?
I created my remote repository on, say my C-drive, with "git init". I then copied and pasted a file to that location and put it under version control with "git add filename.py". Next I went to my E-drive, which is where I intend to be my working directories. After setting up a similar directory structure (/Projects/), I typed "git clone C:/Projects/project_name" and the desired result appeared on E: E:/Projects/project_name/filename.py. All seemed well with the world!

Laura, I may just attempt this on the dev machine. I have mentioned before that the production environment is running Python 2.6.x (I think it is 2.6.6, but don't remember for certain.). Surely updating Python on the dev to one very near the prod env is an improvement? And if I am going to do that, I might as well install Git. And I will probably throw in gVim, too. I have been pondering everyone's comments to date, and it seems to me that I should be doing all of my development on the development environment machine and it is thus justifiable to add the tools I need to effectively do this (Again, thanks for your thoughts, Cameron!). This seems more *sane*! Plus it will save me tons of time. Even though the link you gave was for a package add, I just *know* there will be missing dependencies. Guess I will have to learn how to resolve all the issues that come up. Should be fun! Thanks, Laura! -- boB ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
Re: [Tutor] Questions (and initial responses) on using version control: Why cannot I push my single (master) branch to origin without an error occurring?

I then copied and pasted a file to that location and put it under version control with "git add filename.py". Next I went to my E-drive, which is where I intend to be my working directories. After setting up a similar directory structure (/Projects/), I typed "git clone C:/Projects/project_name" and the desired result appeared on E: E:/Projects/project_name/filename.py. All seemed well with the world! Now I made some edits to filename.py in my working directory, added/committed and then attempted to push to the remote repository and got this: I would suggest the following work flow to set up two parallel repositories: cd git init git add git commit cd git clone # the above command brings in a copy of all that was committed in the first repo. Once this is done, I believe your subsequent commits can be pushed without the errors. ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
