Using Python’s getopt
A couple of my students wanted me to write a switch and parameter handler for Python scripts. I wrote it just to show them it’s possible but I also show them how to do it correctly with the Python getopt library, which was soft-deprecated in Python 3.13 and replaced by the Python argparse library. The debate is which one I show you first in the blog.
This is the getops.py script that uses Python’s getopt library. There is a small trick to the options and long options values. You append a colon (:) to the option when it has a value, and append an equal (=) to the long option when it has a value.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 | #!/usr/bin/python # Import libraries. import getopt, sys import mysql.connector from mysql.connector import errorcode # Define local function. def help(): # Declare display string. display = \ """ Program Help +---------------+-------------+-------------------+ | -h --help | | Help switch. | | -o --output | output_file | Output file name. | | -q --query | query_file | Query file name. | | -v --verbose | | Verbose switch. | +---------------+-------------+-------------------+""" # Return string. return display # ============================================================ # Set local variables for switch and parameter placeholders. # ============================================================ display = False log = [] output_file = '' query_file = '' verbose = False opts = "ho:q:v" long_opts = ["help","output=","query=","verbose"] # ============================================================ # Capture argument list minus the program name. # ============================================================ args = sys.argv[1:] # ============================================================ # Use a try-except block. # ============================================================ try: # Assign the results of the getopt function. params, values = getopt.getopt(args, opts, long_opts) # Loop through the parameters. for curr_param, curr_value in params: if curr_param in ("-h","--help"): print(help()) elif curr_param in ("-o","--output"): output_file = curr_value elif curr_param in ("-q","--query"): query_file = curr_value elif curr_param in ("-v","--verbose"): verbose = True # Append entry to log. log.append('[' + curr_param + '][' + curr_value + ']') # Print verbose parameter handling. if verbose: print(" Parameter Diagnostics\n-------------------------") for i in log: print(i) # Exception block. except getopt.GetoptError as e: # output error, and return with an error code print (str(e)) |
You can run the program in Linux or Unix with the following syntax provided that you’ve already set the parameters to 755. That means granting the file owner with read, write, and execute privileges, and group and other with read and execute privileges.
./getopts.py -h -o output.txt -q query.sql -v |
It would return the following:
Program Help +---------------+-------------+-------------------+ | -h --help | | Help switch. | | -o --output | output_file | Output file name. | | -q --query | query_file | Query file name. | | -v --verbose | | Verbose switch. | +---------------+-------------+-------------------+ Parameter Diagnostics ------------------------- [-h][] [-o][output.txt] [-q][query.sql] [-v][] |
If you didn’t notice, I also took the opportunity to write the help display in such a way that a maintenance programmer could add another switch or parameter easily. This way the programmer only needs to add a new row of text and add an elif statement with the new switch or parameter.
I think using Python’s getopt library is the cleanest and simplest way to implement switch and parameter handling, after all it’s the basis for so many C derived libraries. However, if you must write your own, below is an approach that would work:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 | #!/usr/bin/python # Import libraries. import sys import mysql.connector from mysql.connector import errorcode # ============================================================ # Set local variables for switch and parameter placeholders. # ============================================================ help = False display = \ """ Program Help +---------------+-------------+-------------------+ | -h --help | | Help switch. | | -o --output | output_file | Output file name. | | -q --query | query_file | Query file name. | | -v --verbose | | Verbose switch. | +---------------+-------------+-------------------+""" log = [] output = '' query = '' verbose = False # ============================================================ # Capture argument list minus the program name. # ============================================================ args = sys.argv[1:] # ============================================================ # If one or more args exists and the first one is an # a string that can cast to an int, convert it to an int, # assign it to a variable, and ignore any other args # in the list. # ============================================================ if len(args) > 1 and args[0].isdigit(): powerIn = int(args[0]) # Check for switches and parameters. if isinstance(args,list) and len(args) >= 1: # Set the limit of switches and parameters. argc = len(args) # Enumerate through switches first and then parameters. for i in range(argc): if args[i][0] == '-': # Evaluate switches and ignore any parameter value. if args[i] in ['-h','--help']: help = True # Append entry to log. log.append('[' + str(args[i]) + ']') elif args[i] in ['-v','--verbose']: verbose = True # Append entry to log. log.append('[' + str(args[i]) + ']') # Evaluate parameters. elif i < argc and not args[i+1][0] == '-': if args[i] in ['-q','--query']: query = args[i+1] elif args[i] in ['-o','--output']: output = args[i+1] # Append entry to log. log.append('[' + str(args[i]) + '][' + args[i+1] + ']') else: continue continue # Print the help display when if help: print(display) # Print the parameter handling collected in the log variable. if verbose: for i in log: print(i) |
As you can see from the example, I didn’t give it too much effort. I think it should prove you should use the approach adopted by the general Python community.
SQL Calculations #1
This was principally written for my SQL students but I thought it might be useful to others. SQL calculation are performed row-by-row in the SELECT-list. In its simplest form without even touching a table, you can add two literal numbers like this:
1 | SELECT 2 + 2 AS result; |
It will display the result of the addition to the column alias result as a derived table, or the following result:
+--------+ | result | +--------+ | 4 | +--------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) |
Unfortunately, the use of literal values as shown above doesn’t really let you see how the calculation is made row-by-row because it only returns one row. You can rewrite the two literal values into one variable by using a Common Table Expressions (CTEs). The CTE creates an struct tuple with only one x element. Another way to describe what the CTE does would say, it creates a derived table named struct with a single x column in the SELECT-list.
The CTE runs first, then a subsequent query may use the CTE’s derived table results. Below is a query that uses the value in the struct.x derived table (or references the struct tuple’s x element) twice while assigning the value to a new column alias, labelled result. The FROM clause places the struct tuple in the queries namespace, which lets you reference it in the SELECT-list.
1 2 3 4 | WITH struct AS (SELECT 2 AS x) SELECT struct.x + struct.x AS result FROM struct; |
Like the literal example, it will display the result of the addition to the column alias result as a derived table of one row:
+--------+ | result | +--------+ | 4 | +--------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) |
Having laid a basis for a simple calculation in one row, let’s expand the example and demonstrate how to perform row-by-row calculations. The example requires introducing some new concepts. One uses the UNION ALL set operator to fabricate a CTE derived table with three rows. Another uses a comma within the WITH clause to create two derived tables or CTEs. The last uses the CROSS JOIN to add the single row CTE’s single y column to each of the rows returned by the multiple row CTE.
The CROSS JOIN is a Cartesian product, which multiplies the rows in one table against the rows in another table while adding the columns from each table. That means fabricating a table of one column and one row lets you put a variable into all the rows of another table or set of tables combined through an equijoin or non-equijoin operation.
The query below takes a struct1 derived table of one column and three rows and a struct2 derived table of one column and one row, then uses a CROSS JOIN to create a new derived table, which would be a table of two columns and three rows. The Cartesian product only provides the two columns that we will multiply to create new data.
The SELECT-list lets us fabricate a new column where we multiply the values of column x and column y to create a set of new results in column result.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 | WITH struct1 AS (SELECT 1 AS x UNION ALL SELECT 2 AS x UNION ALL SELECT 3 AS x) , struct2 AS (SELECT 10 AS y) SELECT struct1.x AS x , struct2.y AS y , struct1.x * struct2.y AS result FROM struct1 CROSS JOIN struct2; |
The query returns the following results, which show the values used to calculate the result and the result:
+---+----+--------+ | x | y | result | +---+----+--------+ | 1 | 10 | 10 | | 2 | 10 | 20 | | 3 | 10 | 30 | +---+----+--------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec) |
As a rule, the columns x and y would not be displayed in the final derived table. You would only see the result columns’ values.
Let’s use an example from Alan Bwaulieu’s Learning SQL book with a twist. Rather than manually fabricating the ordinal numbers twice, let’s use the scope reference of a subsequent CTE to reference an earlier CTE. That would create two ten row tables of one column each, or a Cartesian product of a 100 row table with two columns. Then, let’s use the SELECT-list lets us fabricate only a new column, which will add 1 to the numbers 0 to 99 to give us the numbers 1 to a 100.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 | WITH ones AS (SELECT 0 AS x UNION ALL SELECT 1 AS x UNION ALL SELECT 2 AS x UNION ALL SELECT 3 AS x UNION ALL SELECT 4 AS x UNION ALL SELECT 5 AS x UNION ALL SELECT 6 AS x UNION ALL SELECT 7 AS x UNION ALL SELECT 8 AS x UNION ALL SELECT 9 AS x ) , tens AS (SELECT x * 10 AS x FROM ones) SELECT ones.x + tens.x + 1 AS ordinal FROM ones CROSS JOIN tens ORDER BY ordinal; |
It returns the following result set:
+---------+ | ordinal | +---------+ | 1 | | 2 | | 3 | | 4 | | 5 | | 6 | | 7 | | 8 | | 9 | | 10 | | 11 | ... | 98 | | 99 | | 100 | +---------+ 100 rows in set (0.00 sec) |
Moving on to more complex math, let’s create a numerals table with the result from our prior query. It will enable calculating the factors of exponents. The easiest way to create the table is shown below (only caveat is that it will build it with a biting rather than an int data type).
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 | CREATE TABLE numerals AS WITH ones AS (SELECT 0 AS x UNION ALL SELECT 1 AS x UNION ALL SELECT 2 AS x UNION ALL SELECT 3 AS x UNION ALL SELECT 4 AS x UNION ALL SELECT 5 AS x UNION ALL SELECT 6 AS x UNION ALL SELECT 7 AS x UNION ALL SELECT 8 AS x UNION ALL SELECT 9 AS x ) , tens AS (SELECT x * 10 AS x FROM ones) SELECT ones.x + tens.x + 1 AS ordinal FROM ones CROSS JOIN tens ORDER BY ordinal; |
Line #15 sets the column alias that determines the name of the column for the numerals table. It can be described after running the foregoing script in MySQL as:
+---------+--------+------+-----+---------+-------+ | Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra | +---------+--------+------+-----+---------+-------+ | ordinal | bigint | NO | | 0 | | +---------+--------+------+-----+---------+-------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) |
The next query accepts a substitution variable into the WITH clause, which means an external program will call it. (Although, you could use a session level variable, which I would discourage.) This query returns the factors for any given exponent:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 | WITH magic AS (SELECT %s AS vkey) SELECT CONCAT(magic.vkey,'^',LOG(magic.vkey,n.ordinal)) AS powers , n.ordinal AS result FROM numerals n CROSS JOIN magic WHERE MOD(n.ordinal,magic.vkey) = 0 AND LOG(magic.vkey,n.ordinal) REGEXP '^[0-9]*$' OR n.ordinal = 1 ORDER BY n.ordinal; |
FYI, in the WHERE clause the regular expression is guarantees only rows returning integer values, and the 1 returns the identity property of an exponent raised to the zero power.
Assuming you created the numerals table, put the foregoing query in a query.sql file (because I was to lazy to write the full parameter handling), and you run it in the same directory as this Python program, it’ll take any valid integer as a value.

If you forget to call it with a numeric parameter, it uses 2 as the default. You would call it as follows from a Linux prompt from the local directory:
./power.py |
It returns:
2^0 is: 1 2^1 is: 2 2^2 is: 4 2^3 is: 8 2^4 is: 16 2^5 is: 32 2^6 is: 64 |
If you call it with a numeric parameter, it uses the numeric value. You would call it as follows from a Linux prompt from the local directory:
./power.py 3 |
It returns:
3^0 is: 1 3^1 is: 3 3^2 is: 9 3^3 is: 27 3^4 is: 81 |
As always, I hope the post helps folks sort out how and why things work.
SQL Statement Management
It’s very difficult explaining to students new to relational databases how SQL works. There are many parts that seem intuitive and then there are others that confuse and confound.
For beginners, the idea that a SQL statement is simply a text string that you must dispatch to a SQL statement processing engine is new. That’s because they use an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) that hides, or abstracts the complexity, of how SQL executes.
I start my core SQL class by demonstrating how to run a text literal query without a FROM clause in MySQL Workbench, like this:
SELECT 'Hello World!' AS "Output"; |
After writing the query, I highlight everything except the semicolon and click the lightening bolt that dispatches the static string to the SQL statement engine. They see this result:
Then, I launch a mysql Monitor session and write the query with a semicolon to dispatch the SQL static string to the SQL statement engine:
SELECT 'Hello World!' AS "Output"; |
and, with a \g to dispatch the SQL static string to the SQL statement engine:
SELECT 'Hello World!' AS "Output"\g |
Both queries return the same output, as shown below:
+--------------+ | output | +--------------+ | Hello World! | +--------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
Rewriting the query with a \G to dispatch the SQL static string to the SQL statement engine:
SELECT 'Hello World!' AS "Output"\G |
Both queries return the following output:
*************************** 1. row *************************** output: Hello World! 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
The next step requires removing the MySQL Workbench and MySQL Monitor from the demonstration. Without either of those tools, a Python program can demonstrate how to run a static SQL string.
The query is now a string literal into a query.sql file. The Python program reads the query.sql file, dispatches the embedded query, and displays the query results.
This is the query.sql file is:
SELECT 'Hello World!' AS "output"; |
This is the query.py file is:
#!/usr/bin/python # Import libraries. import sys import mysql.connector from mysql.connector import errorcode # ============================================================ # Use a try-catch block to read and parse a query from a # a file found in the same local directory as the Python # program. # ============================================================ try: file = open('query.sql','r') query = file.read().replace('\n',' ').replace(';','') file.close() except IOError: print("Could not read file:", fileName) # ============================================================ # Attempt connection in a try-catch block. # ============================================================ # -------------------------------------------------------- # Open connection, bind variable in query and format # query output before closing the cursor. # -------------------------------------------------------- try: # Open connection. cnx = mysql.connector.connect(user='student', password='student', host='127.0.0.1', database='studentdb') # Create cursor. cursor = cnx.cursor() # Execute cursor, and coerce string to tuple. cursor.execute(query) # Display the rows returned by the query. for row in cursor: print(row[0]) # Close cursor. cursor.close() # -------------------------------------------------------- # Handle MySQL exception # -------------------------------------------------------- except mysql.connector.Error as e: if e.errno == errorcode.ER_ACCESS_DENIED_ERROR: print("Something is wrong with your user name or password") elif e.errno == errorcode.ER_BAD_DB_ERROR: print("Database does not exist") else: print("Error code:", e.errno) # error number print("SQLSTATE value:", e.sqlstate) # SQLSTATE value print("Error message:", e.msg) # error message # -------------------------------------------------------- # Close connection after try-catch completes. # -------------------------------------------------------- # Close the connection when the try block completes. else: cnx.close() |
In Linux or Unix from the relative directory where both the query.sql and query.py files are located:
./query.py |
It returns:
Hello World!
These examples demonstrate that a query without variable substitution is only a static string. In all the cases, the static SQL strings are dispatched to the SQL engine by a terminator like a semicolon or through an ODBC library call that executes the static SQL string.
Parametric Queries
In 2021, I wrote a MySQL example for my class on the usefulness of Common Table Expressions (CTEs). When discussing the original post, I would comment on how you could extend the last example to build a parametric reporting table.
Somebody finally asked for a concrete example. So, this explains how to build a sample MySQL parametric query by leveraging a filter cross join and tests the parameter use with a Python script.
You can build this in any database you prefer but I used a studentdb database with the sakila sample database installed. I’ve granted privileges to both databases to the student user. The following SQL is required for the example:
-- Conditionally drop the levels table. DROP TABLE IF EXISTS levels; -- Create the levels list. CREATE TABLE levels ( level_id int unsigned primary key auto_increment , parameter_set enum('Three','Five') , description varchar(20) , min_roles int , max_roles int ); -- Insert values into the list table. INSERT INTO levels ( parameter_set , description , min_roles , max_roles ) VALUES ('Three','Hollywood Star', 30, 99999) ,('Three','Prolific Actor', 20, 29) ,('Three','Newcommer',1,19) ,('Five','Newcommer',1,9) ,('Five','Junior Actor',10,19) ,('Five','Professional Actor',20,29) ,('Five','Major Actor',30,39) ,('Five','Hollywood Star',40,99999); |
The sample lets you use the three or five value labels while filtering on any partial full_name value as the result of the query below:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 | -- Query the data. WITH actors AS (SELECT a.actor_id , a.first_name , a.last_name , COUNT(*) AS num_roles FROM sakila.actor a INNER JOIN sakila.film_actor fa ON a.actor_id = fa.actor_id GROUP BY actor_id) SELECT CONCAT(a.last_name,', ',a.first_name) full_name , l.description , a.num_roles FROM actors a CROSS JOIN levels l WHERE a.num_roles BETWEEN l.min_roles AND l.max_roles AND l.parameter_set = 'Five' AND a.last_name LIKE CONCAT('H','%') ORDER BY a.last_name , a.first_name; |
They extends a concept exercise found in Chapter 9 on subqueries in Alan Beaulieu’s Learning SQL book.
This is the parametric Python program, which embeds the function locally (to make it easier for those who don’t write a lot of Python). You could set the PYTHONPATH to a relative src directory and import your function if you prefer.

As always, I hope this helps those trying to understand how CTEs can solve problems that would otherwise be coded in external imperative languages like Python.
Sqlite on Ubuntu
We decided to include some existing Sqlite databases in our AWS Ubuntu learning lab because they’re used by the Data Science courses (specifically, DS 250). Installing Sqlite is quite simple:
sudo apt install -y sqlite |
You can check the install by using the which utility, like:
which -a sqlite3 |
On Ubuntu, it should return:
/usr/bin/sqlite3 |
There is a friendly help document online that can provide insight in how to use Sqlite. You can create a new student.db database with the following syntax from the Ubuntu CLI (Command-Line Interface):
sqlite3 student.db |
It would return the following:
SQLite version 3.37.2 2022-01-06 13:25:41 Enter ".help" FOR usage hints. sqlite> |
A little warning about the simple example and how it opens only a transient in-memory database. If you want a persistent database, you must open sqlite3 without any arguments. Then, you must use the .open method to open a persistent student.db database create a file in the relative directory path where you launched sqlite3 executable. You can read more about persistent in Sqlite in the documentation.
.open student.db |
The alternative opens the student.db file in a fully qualified path:
.open /home/student/Code/sqlite/db/student.db |
If you type .databases at the sqlite> prompt it would return:
sqlite> .databases main: /home/student/Code/sqlite/db/student.db r/w |
Let’s create a script file that creates two tables, a foreign key reference from one of the tables to the other, and some data with the following create_sample.sql script:
-- Drop knight table if exists. DROP TABLE IF EXISTS knight; -- Drop kingdom table if exists. DROP TABLE IF EXISTS kingdom; -- Create normalized table kingdom CREATE TABLE kingdom ( kingdom_id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY , kingdom_name VARCHAR(20) , population INTEGER , book VARCHAR(40)); -- Insert kingdom into table. INSERT INTO kingdom ( kingdom_id , kingdom_name , population , book ) VALUES ( 1, 'Narnia', 42100, 'Prince Caspian' ) ,( 2, 'Narnia', 77600, 'The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe' ) ,( 3, 'Camelot', 15200, 'The Once and Future King' ); -- Create normalized knight table. CREATE TABLE knight ( knight_id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY , knight_name VARCHAR(22) , kingdom_allegiance_id INTEGER , allegiance_start_date text , allegiance_end_date text , book VARCHAR(40) , FOREIGN KEY (kingdom_allegiance_id) REFERENCES kingdom(kingdom_id)); -- Insert knights into table. INSERT INTO knight ( knight_id , knight_name , kingdom_allegiance_id , allegiance_start_date , allegiance_end_date , book ) VALUES ( 1, 'Peter the Magnificent', 2, '1272-03-20', '1292-06-19', 'The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe' ) ,( 2, 'Edmund the Just', 2, '1272-03-20', '1292-06-19', 'The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe' ) ,( 3, 'Susan the Gentle', 2, '1272-03-20', '1292-06-19', 'The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe' ) ,( 4, 'Lucy the Valiant', 2, '1272-03-20', '1292-06-19', 'The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe' ) ,( 5, 'Peter the Magnificent', 1, '1531-04-12', '1328-05-31', 'Prince Caspian' ) ,( 6, 'Edmund the Just', 1, '1531-04-12', '1328-05-31', 'Prince Caspian' ) ,( 7, 'Susan the Gentle', 1, '1531-04-12', '1328-05-31', 'Prince Caspian' ) ,( 8, 'Lucy the Valiant', 1, '1531-04-12', '1328-05-31', 'Prince Caspian' ) ,( 9, 'King Arthur', 3, '0631-03-10', '0686-12-12', 'The Once and Future King' ) ,( 10, 'Sir Lionel', 3, '0631-03-10', '0686-12-12', 'The Once and Future King' ) ,( 11, 'Sir Bors', 3, '0631-03-10', '0686-12-12', 'The Once and Future King' ) ,( 12, 'Sir Bors', 3, '0631-03-10', '0686-12-12', 'The Once and Future King' ) ,( 13, 'Sir Galahad', 3, '0631-03-10', '0686-12-12', 'The Once and Future King' ) ,( 14, 'Sir Gawain', 3, '0631-03-10', '0686-12-12', 'The Once and Future King' ) ,( 15, 'Sir Tristram', 3, '0631-03-10', '0686-12-12', 'The Once and Future King' ) ,( 16, 'Sir Percival', 3, '0631-03-10', '0686-12-12', 'The Once and Future King' ) ,( 17, 'Sir Lancelot', 3, '0631-03-10', '0686-12-12', 'The Once and Future King' ); |
You can run the create_sample.sql script with the following syntax using an absolute path:
sqlite> .read /home/student/Code/sqlite/create_tables.sql |
Then, you can write a query like this to retrieve the data from two tables:
SELECT k.kingdom_name , kn.knight_name FROM kingdom k INNER JOIN knight kn ON k.kingdom_id = kn.kingdom_allegiance_id WHERE k.book = 'Prince Caspian'; |
It will return the following:
Narnia|Peter the Magnificent Narnia|Edmund the Just Narnia|Susan the Gentle Narnia|Lucy the Valiant |
You can exit sqlite3 by entering .quit or Control+D (the system End-Of-File character). If you can determine whether you have a transient or persistent student.db database file with the long list (ll) command.
The following command:
ll /home/student/Code/sqlite/db/student.db |
should return the following:
-rw-r--r-- 1 student student 12288 Feb 9 23:01 /home/student/Code/sqlite/db/student.db |
If the command returned a 0 sized student.db database file, you created a transient Sqlite table. You’ll need to redo the creation of the student.db database file with the .open command as qualified above.
If you want to detach a database from your active Sqlite session, you can issue the following command to remove it:
sqlite> DETACH DATABASE student.db |
Let’s jazz it up a bit with some Python. The first example verifies the ODBC driver’s ability to connect to Sqlite. Please note that it returns the same result for a transient and persistent database file. You can refer to the following documentation for Python examples.
#!/usr/bin/python # Import sqlite3 ODBC library. import sqlite3 try: # Open a connection to the student.db database db = sqlite3.connect('/home/student/Code/sqlite/db/student.db') # Print a string to say you've connected to the student.db database. print("Sqlite database connection success.") except sqlite3.Error as e: print('SQLite error: %s' % (' '.join(e.args))) print("Exception class is: ", e.__class__) print('SQLite traceback: ') exc_type, exc_value, exc_tb = sys.exc_info() print(traceback.format_exception(exc_type, exc_value, exc_tb)) sys.exit(1) finally: # Close the connection when it is open. if db: db.close() |
You can run the sqlite_connection.py script with the following syntax from its local directory:
Sqlite database connection success. |
Assuming you have created a persistent Sqlite database, as qualified above with the .open command and fully qualified file name. A fully qualified file name as a path from a Linux mount point to the file.
You must use the fully qualified file name for a persistent Sqlite student.db database as the database parameter for the sqlite3.connect() method, as shown on line #9 of the sqlite_query.py program below.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 | #!/usr/bin/python # Import sys library. import sqlite3 try: # Open a connection to a persistent database, which should use # a fully qualified file name, but may use a relative file # name when the Python code is in the same directory as a # persistent student.db sqlite3 database. db = sqlite3.connect('/home/student/Code/sqlite/db/student.db') # Create a cursor. cursor = db.cursor() # Define a query. query = "SELECT k.kingdom_name " \ ", kn.knight_name " \ "FROM kingdom k INNER JOIN knight kn " \ "ON k.kingdom_id = kn.kingdom_allegiance_id " \ "WHERE k.book = 'Prince Caspian'" # Execute the cursor with the query. cursor.execute( query ) # Display the rows returned by the query. for (kingdom_name, knight_name) in cursor: print('{0} has {1}'.format( kingdom_name.title(), knight_name.title())) except sqlite3.Error as e: print('SQLite error: %s' % (' '.join(e.args))) print("Exception class is: ", e.__class__) print('SQLite traceback: ') exc_type, exc_value, exc_tb = sys.exc_info() print(traceback.format_exception(exc_type, exc_value, exc_tb)) sys.exit(1) finally: # Close the connection when it is open. if db: db.close() |
As always, I hope this helps those trying to get up and running with Sqlite.
VSCode & $PYTHONPATH
About 4 years ago, I demonstrated how to develop Python functions with a relative src directory in this old blog post. I thought it might be possible to do with VSCode. Doing a bit of research, it appeared all that was required was adding the PythonPath to VSCode’s Python settings in:
/home/student/.vscode/extensions/ms-python.python-2023.22.0/pythonFiles/.vscode/settings.json |
It contained:
{"files.exclude":{"**/__pycache__/**":true,"**/**/*.pyc":true},"python.formatting.provider":"black"} |
I added a configuration for the PYTHONPATH, as shown:
{"files.exclude":{"**/__pycache__/**":true,"**/**/*.pyc":true},"python.formatting.provider":"black","python.pythonPath": "/home/student/Lib"} |
As you can tell from the embedded VSCode Terminal output below, the PYTHONPATH is not found. You can manually enter it and retest your code successfully. There is no way to use a relative PYTHONPATH like the one you can use from an shell environment file.
This is the hello_whom5.py code:
#!/usr/bin/python # Import the basic sys library. import sys from input import parse_input # Assign command-line argument list to variable. whom = parse_input(sys.argv) # Check if string isn't empty and use dynamic input. if len(whom) > 0: # Print dynamic hello salutation. print("Hello " + whom + "!\n") else: # Print default saluation. print("Hello World!") |
This is the input.py library module:
# Parse a list and return a whitespace delimited string. def parse_input(input_list): # Assign command-line argument list to variable. cmd_list = input_list[1:] # Declare return variable. result = "" # Check whether or not their are parameters beyond the file name. if isinstance(input_list,list) and len(input_list) != 0: # Loop through the command-line argument list and print it. for element in cmd_list: if len(result) == 0: result = element else: result = result + " " + element # Return result variable as string. return result |
This is the Terminal output from VSCode:
student@student-virtual-machine:~$ /bin/python /home/student/Code/python/hello_whom5.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/student/Code/python/hello_whom5.py", line 5, in <module> from input import parse_input ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'input' student@student-virtual-machine:~$ export set PYTHONPATH=/home/student/Lib student@student-virtual-machine:~$ /bin/python /home/student/Code/python/hello_whom5.py Hello World! student@student-virtual-machine:~$ /bin/python /home/student/Code/python/hello_whom5.py Katniss Everdeen Hello Katniss Everdeen! student@student-virtual-machine:~$ |
The VSCode image for the test follows below:
As always, I hope this helps somebody working the same issue. However, if somebody has a better solution, please let me know.
Oracle 23c Free SQL*Plus
It’s always frustrated me when using the sqlplus command-line interface (CLI) that you can’t just “up arrow” to through the history. At least, that’s the default case unless you wrap the sqlplus executable.
I like to do my development work as close to the database as possible. The delay from SQL Developer to the database or VSCode to the database is just too long. Therefore, I like the native sqlplus to be as efficient as possible. This post shows you how to install the rlwarp utility to wrap sqlplus and create a sandboxed student user for a local development account inside the Oracle 23c Free container. You should note that the Docker or Podman Container is using Oracle Unbreakable Linux 8 as it’s native OS.
You can connect to your Docker version of Oracle Database 23c Free with the following command:
docker exec -it -u root oracle23c bash |
You can’t just use dnf to install rlwrap and get it to magically install all the dependencies. That would be too easy, eh?
Attempting to do so will lock your base OS and eventually force you to kill with prejudice the hung dnf process (at least it forced me to do so). You need to determine the rlwrap dependencies and then install them first. In that process, I noticed that the which utility program wasn’t installed in the container.
Naturally, I installed the which utility first with this command:
dnf install -y which |

The rlwrap dependencies are: glibc, ncurses, perl, readline, python, and git. Only the perl, python, and git are missing from the list of formal dependencies but there’s another dependency the epel-release package.
If you want to verify whether a package is installed, you can use the rpm command like this:
rpm -qa | grep package_name |
I installed the perl programming environment (a big install) with this command:
dnf install -y perl |

At this point, you need to create a sandboxed user account for the Docker instance because as a developer using the root user for simple tasks is a bad idea. While you could do this with a Docker command, the Oracle 23c Free edition raised a lock on the /etc/group file when I tried it. Naturally, that’s not a problem because you can connect as the root user with this syntax:
docker exec -it -u root oracle23c bash |
As the root user, create a student account as a developer account in the Oracle 23c Free container:
useradd -u 501 -g dba -G users -d /home/student -s /bin/bash/ -c "Student" -n student |
You’ll be unable to leverage the tnsnames.ora file unless you alter the prior command to replace dba with oinstall or add the following command:
usermod -a -G oinstall student |
Exit the Oracle 23c Free container as the root user and reconnect as the student user with this syntax:
docker exec -it --user student oracle23c bash |
While you’re connected as the root user, you should create an upload directory as a subdirectory of the $ORACLE_BASE directory. The $ORACLE_BASE directory in the Oracle Database 23c Free Docker image is the /opt/oracle directory.
You should use the following syntax to create the upload directory and change its permission to that of the Oracle Database 23c Free installation (for a future blog post on developing external table deployment on the Docker image):
mkdir /opt/oracle chown -R oracle:install /opt/oracle/upload |
You also can add the following student function to the Ubuntu student user’s .bashrc file. It means all you need to type to connect to the Oracle Database 23c Free Docker instance is “student“. I like shortcuts like this one, which let you leverage one-line Python commands.
student () { # Discover the fully qualified program name. path=`which docker 2>/dev/null` file='' # Parse the program name from the path. if [ -n ${path} ]; then file=${path##/*/} fi # Wrap when there is a file and it is rewrap. if [ -n ${file} ] && [[ ${file} = "docker" ]]; then python -c "import subprocess; subprocess.run(['docker exec -it --user student oracle23c bash'], shell=True)" else echo "Docker is unavailable: Install the docker package." fi } |
Open a Ubuntu Terminal shell and type a student function name to connect to the Docker Oracle Database 23c Free instance where you can now test things like external tables with the SQL*Plus command line without installing it on the Ubuntu local operating system.
student@student-virtual-machine:~$ student [student@d28375f0c43f ~]$ sqlplus c##student/student@free SQL*Plus: Release 23.0.0.0.0 - Production on Wed Jan 3 02:14:22 2024 Version 23.3.0.23.09 Copyright (c) 1982, 2023, Oracle. All rights reserved. Last Successful login time: Wed Jan 03 2024 01:56:44 +00:00 Connected to: Oracle Database 23c Free Release 23.0.0.0.0 - Develop, Learn, and Run for Free Version 23.3.0.23.09 SQL> |
Then, I added this sqlplus function to the /home/student/.bashrc file, which is owned by the student user. However, I also added the instruction to change to the student user’s home directory because the Oracle 23c Free container will connect you to the /home/oracle directory by default. I also added the default long list (ll) alias to the .bashrc file.
sqlplus () { # Discover the fully qualified program name. path=`which rlwrap 2>/dev/null` file='' # Parse the program name from the path. if [ -n ${path} ]; then file=${path##/*/} fi; # Wrap when there is a file and it is rewrap. if [ -n ${file} ] && [[ ${file} = "rlwrap" ]]; then rlwrap sqlplus "${@}" else echo "Command-line history unavailable: Install the rlwrap package." $ORACLE_HOME/bin/sqlplus "${@}" fi } # Change to the user's home directory. cd ${HOME} # Create a long list alias: alias ll='ls -l --color=auto' |
After you’ve configured your student user, you can configure the oracle user account to work like a regular server. Exit the Docker Oracle Database 23c Free as the student user, then connect as the root user with this command:
docker exec -it -u root oracle23c bash |
As the root user you can become the oracle user with the following command:
su - oracle |
Now, add the following .bashrc shell in the /home/oracle directory:
# The oracle user's .bashrc # Source global definitions if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then . /etc/bashrc fi # User specific environment if ! [[ "$PATH" =~ "$HOME/.local/bin:$HOME/bin:" ]] then PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$HOME/bin:$PATH" fi export PATH # Uncomment the following line if you don't like systemctl's auto-paging feature: # export SYSTEMD_PAGER= # User specific aliases and functions export ORACLE_SID=FREE export ORACLE_BASE=/opt/oracle export ORACLE_HOME=/opt/oracle/product/23c/dbhomeFree export PATH=$PATH:/$ORACLE_HOME/bin # Change to the user's home directory. cd ${HOME} # Create a long list alias: alias ll='ls -l --color=auto' sqlplus () { # Discover the fully qualified program name. path=`which rlwrap 2>/dev/null` file='' # Parse the program name from the path. if [ -n ${path} ]; then file=${path##/*/} fi; # Wrap when there is a file and it is rewrap. if [ -n ${file} ] && [[ ${file} = "rlwrap" ]]; then rlwrap sqlplus "${@}" else echo "Command-line history unavailable: Install the rlwrap package." $ORACLE_HOME/bin/sqlplus "${@}" fi } |
You need to manually source the .bashrc for the oracle user because it’s not an externally available user. Use this syntax to connect as the internal user:
sqlplus / as sysdba |
It’ll display:
SQL*Plus: RELEASE 23.0.0.0.0 - Production ON Wed Jan 3 07:08:11 2024 Version 23.3.0.23.09 Copyright (c) 1982, 2023, Oracle. ALL rights reserved. Connected TO: Oracle DATABASE 23c Free RELEASE 23.0.0.0.0 - Develop, Learn, AND Run FOR Free Version 23.3.0.23.09 SQL> |
After all this, I can now click the “up arrow” to edit any of the sqlplus command history. If you like to work inside sqlplus natively, this should help you.

The necessary Python 3 driver for connections to the PostgreSQL database is python3-psycopg2, as qualified by this earlier post with full test examples for Red Hat distributions. You can install it on Ubuntu with the following command:
sudo apt-get install -y python3-psycopg2 |

As always, I hope this helps those looking for a solution. Also, remember the referenced post above provides Linux distribution neutral full solutions.
Python Objects
I promised to give my students a full example of how to write and execute a Python object. There were two motivations for this post. The first was driven by my students trying to understand the basics and the second my somebody else saying Python couldn’t deliver objects. Hopefully, this code is simple enough for both audiences. I gave them this other tutorial on writing and mimicking overloaded Python functions earlier.
This defines a Ball object type and a FilledBall object subtype of Ball. It incorporates the following elements:
- A special __init__ function, which is a C/C++ equivalent to a constructor.
- A special __str__ function represents a class object instance as a string. It is like the getString() equivalent in the Java programming language.
- A bounce instance function, which means it acts on any instance of the Ball object type or FilledBall object subtype.
- A get_direction instance function and it calls the __format local object function, which is intended to mimic a private function call, like other object-oriented programming languages.
- A private name __format function (Private name mangling: When an identifier that textually occurs in a class definition begins with two or more underscore characters and does not end in two or more underscores, it is considered a private name of that class.)
You can test this code by creating the $PYTHONPATH (Unix or Linux) or %PYTHONPATH% (Windows) as follows with all the code inside the present working directory, like this in Unix or Linux:
export set $PYTHONPATH=. |
Then, you create the Ball.py file with this syntax:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 | # Creates a Ball object type and FilledBall object subtype. class Ball: # User-defined constructor with required parameters. def __init__(self, color = None, radius = None, direction = None): # Assign a default color value when the parameter is null. if color is None: self.color = "Blue" else: self.color = color.lower() # Assign a default radius value when the parameter is null. if radius is None: self.radius = 1 else: self.radius = radius # Assign a default direction value when the parameter is null. if direction is None: self.direction = "down" else: self.direction = direction.lower() # Set direction switch values. self.directions = ("down","up") # User-defined standard function when printing an object type. def __str__(self): # Build a default descriptive message of the object. msg = "It's a " + self.color + " " + str(self.radius) + '"' + " ball" # Return the message variable. return msg # Define a bounce function. def bounce(self, direction = None): # Set direction on bounce. if not direction is None: self.direction = direction else: # Switch directions. if self.directions[0] == self.direction: self.direction = self.directions[1] elif self.directions[1] == self.direction: self.direction = self.directions[0] # Define a bounce function. def getDirection(self): # Return current direction of ball. return self.__format(self.direction) # User-defined pseudo-private function, which is available # to instances of the Ball object and any of its subtypes. def __format(self, msg): return "[" + msg + "]" # This is the object subtype, which takes the parent class as an # argument. class FilledBall(Ball): def __init__(self, filler = None): # Instantiate the parent class and then any incremental # parameter values. Ball.__init__(self,"Red",2) # Add a default value or the constructor filler value. if filler is None: self.filler = "Air".lower() else: self.filler = filler # User-defined standard function when printing an object type, which # uses generalized invocation. def __str__(self): # Build a default descriptive message of the object. msg = Ball.__str__(self) + str(" filled with " + self.filler) # Return the message variable. return msg |
Next, let’s test instantiating the Ball object type with the following code:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 | #!/usr/bin/python # Import the Ball class into its own namespace. import Ball # Assign an instantiated class to a local variable. myBall = Ball.Ball() # Check whether the local variable holds a valid Ball instance. if not myBall is None: print(myBall, "instance.") else: print("No Ball instance.") # Loop through 10 times changing bounce direction. for i in range(1,10): # Find dirction of ball. print(myBall.getDirection()) # Bounce the ball. myBall.bounce() |
Next, let’s test instantiating the FilledBall object subtype with the following code:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 | #!/usr/bin/python # Import the Ball class into its own namespace. import Ball # Assign an instantiated class to a local variable. myBall = Ball.FilledBall() # Check whether the local variable holds a valid FilledBall instance. if not myBall is None: print(myBall, "instance.") else: print("No Ball instance.") # Loop through 10 times changing bounce direction. for i in range(1,10): # Find dirction of ball. print(myBall.getDirection()) # Bounce the ball. myBall.bounce() |
As always, I hope this helps those looking to learn and extend their knowledge.
Python Functions
It seems a number of my students had some confusion over how to write overloaded Python functions. So, I prepared this little tutorial using Python 3.
The first basic1.py example file is a standalone Python file that:
- Defines a hello() world function.
- Calls the local hello() world function.
#!/usr/bin/python # Define a hello() function. def hello(): print("Hello World!") # Call the hello() function. hello() |
You can test the basic1.py script as follows:
./basic1.py |
It prints:
Hello World! |
The second basic2.py example file is also a standalone Python file that:
- Attempts to define overloaded hello() world functions. One version takes no arguments and the other takes one argument.
- Attempts to call the overloaded local hello() world function without any arguments and with one argument.
#!/usr/bin/python # Call the hello() function without any arguments. def hello(): print("Hello World!") # Call the hello() function with one argument. def hello(whom): print("Hello", whom) # Call the overloaded hello() functions. hello() hello("Henry") |
You can test the basic2.py script as follows:
./basic2.py |
It successfully defines the hello() function and then it replaces it with the hello(whom) function. So, it raises the following runtime error because the call to the hello() world function finds the hello(whom) function and the call lacks a call parameter.
Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/student/Code/python/funct/./basic2.py", line 12, in <module> hello() TypeError: hello() missing 1 required positional argument: 'whom' |
The third basic3.py example file is also a standalone Python file that:
- Defines a function that acts like an overloaded hello(whom=None) world function.
- Call the local hello(whom=None) world function without any arguments and with one argument. It works because you do two things:
- You assign a default null value to the whom parameter, which makes the parameter optional in the function’s signature.
- You use an if-statement to manage the behavior of a null parameter. The None keyword defines a null value. Please note that the is reference comparison operator is necessary to evaluate whether a variable contains a null value.
#!/usr/bin/python # Call the hello() function with an optional parameter; and # manage the inner workings with and without a parameter. def hello(whom = None): if whom is None: print("Hello World!") else: print("Hello", whom + "!") # Call the overloaded hello() functions. hello() hello("Henry") |
You can test the basic3.py script as follows:
./basic3.py |
It prints:
Hello World! Hello Henry! |
At this point, we need to qualify how you can position a Python library file in a development directory. Development directories aren’t typically in the standard library locations, which means you need to define the directories in the $PYTHONPATH environment variable.
There’s a convenient trick that lets you set the $PYTHONPATH value so that you can use it across multiple test environments. It requires you to create an src directory for your library source code inside the directory where you develop code that will use library functions.
After creating the src directory, you can set the $PYTHONPATH environment variable with a relative src directory in the following syntax:
export set PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:./src:. |
It will now let Python look for libraries in the src subdirectory or the present working directory.
Next, you deploy the following hello(whom=None) function in a lib.py file inside the src subdirectory.
# Call the hello() function with an optional parameter; and # manage the inner workings with and without a parameter. def hello(whom = None): if whom is None: print("Hello World!") else: print("Hello", whom + "!") |
In the parent directory of the src subdirectory create the basic4.py file, like:
#!/usr/bin/python # Import the lib.py file as a lib package. import lib # Call the hello() function without arguments and # with one argument within the namespace of the lib # library. lib.hello() lib.hello("Henry") |
An alternate way to write the basic4.py program imports a single namespace element (like a variable, function, or object) and places it in the local namespace of the program. You can redefine hello() function
#!/usr/bin/python # Define the hello namespace element from the lib # library in the current program. from lib import hello # Call the hello() function without arguments and # with one argument within the namespace of the lib # library. hello() hello("Henry") |
The hello() function only prints messages. You can add a return statement to return a value from the hello() function. The modified library returns a string rather than printing a string, as follows:
# Call the hello() function with an optional parameter; and # manage the inner workings with and without a parameter. def hello(whom = None): if whom is None: return "Hello World!" else: return "Hello " + whom + "!" # Call the goodbye() function with an optional parameter; and # manage the inner workings with and without a parameter. def goodbye(whom = None): if whom is None: return "Goodbye World!" else: return "Goodbye " + whom + "!" |
You would then make the following changes to the basic5.py program that calls the lib.py library file. You could also call the goodbye() function inside the imported lib scope. However, you wouldn’t be able to call the goodbye() function if you had imported only the hello() function from the lib package into the local namespace.
#!/usr/bin/python # Import the lib.py file as a lib package. import lib # Call the hello() function without arguments and # with one argument within the namespace of the lib # library. print(lib.hello()) print(lib.hello("Henry")) |
As always, I hope this helps those looking to understand and use functions in Python.
