gert@gert:~$

Can anybody explain what i must do in order to get integer instead of
a instance ?

Gert,

for x in range(0,gert.rowcount):

gert.rowcount is the method (and not a data attribute).
gert.rowcount() is the method call, which get the return value from
method.

So try this.
for x in range( 0,gert.rowcount() ):

-N

What about autocommit and automagic delegation ?

self._db = MySQLdb.connect(server , user , password , database)
self._db.autocommit(True)

self._cursor.close()
self._db.close()

try:
self.close()
except:
pass

def __getattr__(self, name):
attr = getattr(
self._cursor, name,
getattr(self._db, name, None)
)
if attr is None:
raise AttributeError(
"object %s has no attribute %s" \
% (self.__class__.__name__, name)
)
return attr

(NB :not tested...)

Reading all of the above this is the most simple i can come too.

import MySQLdb

class Db:

def __init__(self,server,user,password,database):
self._db=MySQLdb.connect(server , user , password , database)
self._db.autocommit(True)
self.cursor=self._db.cursor()

def excecute(self,cmd):
self.cursor.execute(cmd)
self.rowcount=int(self.cursor.rowcount)

def close(self):
self.cursor.close()
self._db.close()

def __del__(self):
try:
self.close()
except:
pass

if __name__ == '__main__':
gert=Db('localhost','root','******','gert')
gert.excecute('select * from person')
for row in gert.cursor:
print row

This must be the most simple it can get right ?

PS i didn't understand the __getattr__ quit well but i thought it was
just to overload the privies class

Just out of curiousity: is there any reason you spell it "excecute"
instead of "execute" ?

self.cursor.execute(cmd)
self.rowcount=int(self.cursor.rowcount)

self.cursor.close()

Using __getattr__ is still simpler.

The __getattr__ method is called when an attribute lookup fails (and
remember that in Python, methods are -callable- attributes). It's
commonly used for delegation.

I was thinking if it would be possible to create a object that uses
it's own instance name as a atribute.

For example instead of
gert = Db('localhost','root','*****','gert')

you would do this
gert = Db('localhost','root','*****')

and the name of the object itself 'gert' get's assigned to database somehow ?

class Obj(object):

toto = tutu = tata = titi = Obj()

What's an "instance name" ?

i would say __object__.__name__[3] == toto

And if your obj is a argument like

something(Obj())

i would say __object__.__name__[0] == 0x2b7bd17e9910

In principle, closing a file could raise an exception. I've never seen it
happen, but it could. From the Linux man pages:

"Not checking the return value of close() is a common but nevertheless
serious programming error. It is quite possible that errors on a previous
write(2) operation are first reported at the final close(). Not checking
the return value when closing the file may lead to silent loss of data.
This can especially be observed with NFS and with disk quota."

http://www.die.net/doc/linux/man/man2/close.2.html

I assume that the same will apply in Python.

It has to be said, however, that the error recovery shown ("pass") is
fairly pointless :-)

And yes, in Python it is checked - when the close method was called
explicitely, an exception is raised; when called when the object is garbage
collected, a message is printed on sys.stderr

It has to be said, however, that the error recovery shown ("pass") is
fairly pointless :-)

Only supresses the message on sys.stderr - exceptions raised on __del__ are
never propagated.

Doh!

Yes, he's right. Worse, the code as show can't possibly work: the finally
clause must come AFTER the except clause.
