Convert sqlalchemy row object to python dict

Question

Is there a simple way to iterate over column name and value pairs   My version of sqlalchemy is 0 5 6  Here is the sample code where I tried using dict row   but it throws exception   TypeError   User  object is not iterable  import sqlalchemy from sqlalchemy import   from sqlalchemy ext declarative import declarative base from sqlalchemy orm import sessionmaker  print  sqlalchemy version   sqlalchemy   version     engine   create engine  sqlite     memory    echo False  metadata   MetaData   users table   Table  users   metadata       Column  id   Integer  primary key True        Column  name   String     metadata create all engine    class User declarative base           tablename      users       id   Column Integer  primary key True      name   Column String       def   init   self  name           self name   name  Session   sessionmaker bind engine  session   Session    user1   User  anurag   session add user1  session commit      uncommenting next line throws exception  TypeError   User  object is not iterable   print dict user1    this one also throws  TypeError   User  object is not iterable  for u in session query User  all        print dict u    Running this code on my system outputs   sqlalchemy version  0 5 6 Traceback  most recent call last     File  untitled-1 py   line 37  in  lt module gt      print dict u  TypeError   User  object is not iterable

I am a newly minted Python programmer and ran into problems getting to JSON with Joined tables   Using information from the answers here I built a function to return reasonable results to JSON where the table names are included avoiding having to alias  or have fields collide   Simply pass the result of a session query   test   Session   query VMInfo  Customer  join Customer  order by VMInfo vm name  limit 50  offset 10   json   sqlAl2json test   def sqlAl2json self  result       arr          for rs in result all            proc              try              iterator   iter rs          except TypeError              proc append rs          else              for t in rs                  proc append t           dict              for p in proc              tname   type p    name               for d in dir p                   if d startswith        d startswith  metadata                        pass                 else                      key     s  s    tname  d                      dict key    getattr p  d          arr append dict      return json dumps arr

The expression you are iterating through evaluates to list of model objects  not rows  So the following is correct usage of them   for u in session query User  all        print u id  u name   Do you realy need to convert them to dicts  Sure  there is a lot of ways  but then you don t need ORM part of SQLAlchemy   result   session execute User   table   select    for row in result      print dict row    Update  Take a look at sqlalchemy orm attributes module  It has a set of functions to work with object state  that might be useful for you  especially instance dict

Following  balki answer  since SQLAlchemy 0 8 you can use  asdict    available for KeyedTuple objects  This renders a pretty straightforward answer to the original question  Just  change in your example the last two lines  the for loop  for this one  for u in session query User  all       print u  asdict    This works because in the above code u is an object of type class KeyedTuple  since  all   returns a list of KeyedTuple  Therefore it has the method  asdict    which nicely returns u as a dictionary  WRT the answer by  STB  AFAIK  anything that  all   returns is a list of KeypedTuple  Therefore  the above works either if you specify a column or not  as long as you are dealing with the result of  all   as applied to a Query object

Assuming the following functions will be added to the class User the following will return all key-value pairs of all columns   def columns to dict self       dict           for key in self   mapper   c keys            dict  key    getattr self  key      return dict    unlike the other answers all but only those attributes of the object are returned which are Column attributes at class level of the object  Therefore no  sa instance state or any other attribute SQLalchemy or you add to the object are included  Reference  EDIT  Forget to say  that this also works on inherited Columns   hybrid propery extention  If you also want to include hybrid property attributes the following will work   from sqlalchemy import inspect from sqlalchemy ext hybrid import hybrid property  def publics to dict self  - gt          dict           for key in self   mapper   c keys            if not key startswith                   dict  key    getattr self  key       for key  prop in inspect self   class    all orm descriptors items            if isinstance prop  hybrid property               dict  key    getattr self  key      return dict    I assume here that you mark Columns with an beginning   to indicate that you want to hide them  either because you access the attribute by an hybrid property or you simply do not want to show them  Reference  Tipp all orm descriptors also returns hybrid method and AssociationProxy if you also want to include them   Remarks to other answers  Every answer  like 1  2    which based on the   dict   attribute simply returns all attributes of the object  This could be much more attributes then you want  Like I sad this includes  sa instance state or any other attribute you define on this object   Every answer  like 1  2   which is based on the dict   function only works on SQLalchemy row objects returned by session execute   not on the classes you define to work with  like the class User from the question   The solving answer which is based on row   table   columns will definitely not work  row   table   columns contains the column names of the SQL Database  These can only be equal to the attributes name of the python object  If not you get an AttributeError  For answers  like 1  2   based on class mapper obj   class    mapped table c it is the same

Old question  but since this the first result for  sqlalchemy row to dict  in Google it deserves a better answer   The RowProxy object that SqlAlchemy returns has the items   method  http   docs sqlalchemy org en latest core connections html sqlalchemy engine RowProxy items  It simply returns a list of  key  value  tuples  So one can convert a row to dict using the following   In Python  lt   2 6   rows   conn execute query  list of dicts    dict  key  value  for key  value in row items    for row in rows    In Python    2 7   rows   conn execute query  list of dicts     key  value for  key  value  in row items    for row in rows

as  balki mentioned   The  asdict   method can be used if you re querying a specific field because it is returned as a KeyedTuple   In  1   foo   db session query Topic name  first   In  2   foo  asdict   Out 2     name   u blah     Whereas  if you do not specify a column you can use one of the other proposed methods - such as the one provided by  charlax  Note that this method is only valid for 2 7    In  1   foo   db session query Topic  first   In  2    x name  getattr foo  x name  for x in foo   table   columns  Out 2     name   u blah

You ll need it everywhere in your project  I apriciate  anurag answered it works fine  till this point I was using it  but it ll mess all your code and also wont work with entity change   Rather try this  inherit your base query class in SQLAlchemy  from flask sqlalchemy import SQLAlchemy  BaseQuery   class Query BaseQuery       def as dict self           context   self  compile context           context statement use labels   False         columns    column name for column in context statement columns           return list map lambda row  dict zip columns  row    self all       db   SQLAlchemy query class Query    after that wherever you ll define your object  as dict  method will be there

With python 3 8   we can do this with dataclass  and the asdict method that comes with it   from dataclasses import dataclass  asdict  from sqlalchemy ext declarative import declarative base from sqlalchemy orm import sessionmaker from sqlalchemy import Column  String  Integer  create engine  Base   declarative base   engine   create engine  sqlite     memory    echo False     dataclass class User Base         tablename      users       id  int   Column Integer  primary key True      name  str   Column String      email   Column String       def   init   self  name           self name   name         self email    hello example com    Base metadata create all engine   SessionMaker   sessionmaker bind engine  session   SessionMaker    user1   User  anurag   session add user1  session commit    query result   session query User  one      type  User print f  query result id      query result name      query result email        query result id 1  query result name anurag  query result email hello example com  query result dict   asdict query result  print query result dict      id   1   name    anurag     The key is to use the  dataclass decorator  and annotate each column with its type  the   str part of the name  str   Column String  line       Also note that since the email is not annotated  it is not included in query result dict
