For the sake of those who finds this thread -- the date / value pairs
can be printed by the following:
import fred
fred.key(fredKey)
gnpObvs = fred.observations('GNPCA')
for i in range(1, len(gnpObvs['observations']['observation'])):
print gnpObvs['observations']['observation'][i]['date'],
Thanks very much; hopefully that's the boost i need to get rolling.
Best regards

If it's a dict object, the standard dictionary behavior and methods
should work. I've not looked closely at the FRED API

I am fairly sure i am querying the FRED API, but i am unsure how to
_access and use_ the dict objects that it is returning. For example,
how would i just print out values?
Thanks for your help

Any particular reason for moving to Python? I know this is a
Python list and we are all Python fans but, frankly, it sounds
like your needs might

I have found the FRED package, and appear to have connected to the St

If you say Python and Excel the first thing that comes to mind is the xlrd
