problem with string

[Tzanko Tzanev]

hi :)
I need some help for this script
I have
--------------------
cursor = conn.cursor()
cursor.execute("select * from playlist limit 5")
result = cursor.fetchall()
# iterate through resultset
playlist_txt = ''
for record in result:
mp3id = record[0]
mp3_title = record[1]
mp3_artist = record[2]
playlist_txt += mp3id + mp3_title + mp3_artist
#print mp3id , " - ", mp3_title , ' - ', mp3_artist , "<br />"
cursor.close()
conn.close()
------------------
#and want to print this out of "for record in result:"
print playlist_txt

#but there is an error in
playlist_txt += mp3id + mp3_title + mp3_artist

10x in advance :)

It'd be a lot easier to help if you'd say what the error was.

Have you considered doing "print record" at the appropriate place?

Care to tell us what the error message is, or is it a state secret that
can be obtained only by hanging you by your extremities and inserting
laxatives into your ears with firehoses?

please take care of indentation when posting code.
--------------------
cursor = conn.cursor()
cursor.execute("select * from playlist limit 5")
result = cursor.fetchall()
# iterate through resultset
playlist_txt = ''
for record in result: mp3id = record[0]
mp3_title = record[1]
mp3_artist = record[2]
playlist_txt += mp3id + mp3_title + mp3_artist

Err... what about:
print "<br />\n".join([" - ".join(record[:3]) for record in result])

or :
for record in result:
print "%s - %s - %s <br />" % tuple(record[:3])

Anyway, avoid string concatenation in loop, prefer appending to a list
and then str.join():

playlist = []
for record in result:
playlist.append(record[0] + record[1] + record[2])
print "\n".join(playlist)

Note that this is a very strange and complicated way to write:
print "\n".join([''.join(rec) for rec[:3] in result])

And, finally, if you just want to check what's in your resultset:
print result
#print mp3id , " - ", mp3_title , ' - ', mp3_artist , "<br />"
cursor.close()
conn.close()
Since you're doing a fetchall(), you could (and should if you don't use
em again) free your resources as soon as you've retrieved the resultset:

cursor = conn.cursor()
cursor.execute("select * from playlist limit 5")
result = cursor.fetchall()
cursor.close()
conn.close()
# now use the resultset...

------------------
#and want to print this out of "for record in result:"
print playlist_txt

#but there is an error in
playlist_txt += mp3id + mp3_title + mp3_artist

Are we supposed to guess what the error is ? Sorry, I'm not psychic
enough. Please post the full traceback.

(wild guess: mp3id is an integer ?)
