Returning as dict about dataset HOT 8 CLOSED

What do you mean? Could you give an example of what you would like and how it looks now?

from dataset.

+1 on @ToffeeCrunch's suggestion. We can probably have a constructor argument where you pass in a class that overrides getattr, is that what you mean?

This would also be nice to support indexing the columns in order (with a different kind of class, of course). Right now AFAIK it's not possible to know what the original key order is.

@sbirch that would be possible by returning OrderedDicts instead of dicts.. Actually a good idea I think.

OrderedDict support added in branch ordered-dicts

from dataset.

Woohoo! That will be very useful to me. Though I still think there's value in @JosephShering's original suggestion, as it provides the flexibility to do things like what you did without forking it. (Attribute accessors would be very nice too, for example.)

FYI: right now SQLAlchemy's RowProxy objects are returned that mostly behave like ordered dicts.

It's OrderedDict now.
