Fedora 30 pgAdmin4 Install
Last September, the pgAdmin4 installation stymied me. I wasn’t sure what was I had done wrong in the installation but I was on a deadline to release my Fedora 30 Linux virtualization. That meant I had to move on and leave it for later. Today, I’m building the new image and returned to the task.
I installed pgadmin4 with the following command:
dnf -y install pgadmin4 |
The pgadmin4 configuration instructions can be found for several Linux versions at Josphat Mutai’s Computing for Geeks web page. On Fedora 30, you need to do the following:
- Install, start, and enable Apache as the
httpdservice unless you already have done that. - Copy the
/etc/httpd/conf.d/pgadmin4.conf.samplefile to/etc/httpd/conf.d/pgadmin4.conf, which is a new file. - Restart the
httpdservice to incorporate thepgadmin4configuration file.
After that, my instructions vary from the original web page because they didn’t work. You actually need to create four directories as the sudo or root user:
/var/lib/pgadmin4/var/lib/pgadmin4/sessions/var/lib/pgadmin4/storage/var/log/pgadmin4
You can make both directories with a single mkdir command, like:
mkdir -p /var/lib/pgadmin4 /var/lib/pgadmin4/sessions /var/lib/pgadmin4/storage /var/log/pgadmin4 |
As the root or sudo user, change the ownership of these two directories to the apache user with the following syntax:
chown -R apache:apache /var/lib/pgadmin4 /var/lib/pgadmin4/sessions /var/lib/pgadmin4/storage /var/log/pgadmin4 |
You add the following four statements to the config_distro.py file in the /usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pgadmin4-web directory as the root or sudo user:
LOG_FILE = '/var/log/pgadmin4/pgadmin4.log' SQLITE_PATH = '/var/lib/pgadmin4/pgadmin4.db' SESSION_DB_PATH = '/var/lib/pgadmin4/sessions' STORAGE_DIR = '/var/lib/pgadmin4/storage' |
You need to setup the pgadmin user with the following python3 command:
python3 /usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pgadmin4-web/setup.py |
Enter the following values, a real email address and a password twice:
NOTE: Configuring authentication for SERVER mode. Enter the email address and password to use for the initial pgAdmin user account: Email address: admin@example.com Password: your_password Retype password: your_password pgAdmin 4 - Application Initialisation ====================================== |
Before you move on, you should check ownership of the pgadmin4 directories in the /var/lib and /var/log directories and their files by long listing them as follows:
- Check the
/var/libdirectory:ll /var/lib/pgadmin4
It should display:
total 148 -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 1296 Apr 11 12:12 my-httpd.pp -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 332 Apr 11 12:12 my-httpd.te -rw-------. 1 apache apache 131072 Apr 11 12:16 pgadmin4.db drwx------. 2 apache apache 4096 Apr 11 12:15 sessions drwxr-xr-x. 2 apache apache 4096 Apr 10 17:33 storage
- Check the
/var/logdirectory:ll /var/log/pgadmin4
It should display:
total 4 -rw-r--r--. 1 apache apache 1174 Apr 11 12:15 pgadmin4.log
Assuming you have an enabled firewall, you need to issue the following two commands as the root or sudo user:
firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=http firewall-cmd --reload |
You invoke pgAdmin4 from within a browser window with the following URL for a stand alone workstation (for a workstation on a DNS network you would enter pgadmin.domain.domain_type in lieu of localhost):
pgadmin/localhost/pgadmin4 |
You most likely will encounter an Internal Server Error, the recommended fix is reputed to be:
ausearch -c 'httpd' --raw | audit2allow -M my-httpd semodule -i my-httpd.pp |
After completing the installation, you should be able to run pgadmin4, by typing in the following URL into a web browser:
http://localhost/pgadmin4 |
You should see the pgAmin4 web page if everything works. If it fails to launch, you should check the Apache error log. The error_log file is found in the /var/log/httpd directory. This is a type of error you may get if the ownership privileges aren’t assigned to the apache user and apache group.

As always, I hope my notes are helpful to those who want to work with pgadmin4 and the PostgreSQL database.
Python List & Dictionaries
The following two sample programs are used in an Python programming course that I teach. I find them useful in qualifying how to work with loops, couple loops, and queues. The first example uses two lists and coupled loops, while the second example uses a single dictionary and FILO queue approach.
The Twelve Days of Christmas lyrics can be printed like so with coupled loops:
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 | days = ['first','second','third','fourth' \ ,'fifth','sixth','seventh','eighth' \ ,'nineth','tenth','eleventh','twelveth'] verse = ['partridge in a pear tree.' \ ,'Two turtle doves,' \ ,'Three French hens,' \ ,'Four calling birds,' \ ,'Five gold rings,' \ ,'Six geese a-laying,' \ ,'Seven swans a-swimming,' \ ,'Eight maids a-milking,' \ ,'Nine ladies dancing,' \ ,'Tenth lords a-leaping,' \ ,'Eleven pipers piping,' \ ,'Twelve drummers drumming,'] # Loop forward, couple inner loop, and loop backward through list. for i in range(0,len(days), 1): print("On the",str(days[i]),"day of Christmas my true love sent to me") for j in range(i, -1, -1): if (j > 0): print(" ",verse[j]) elif (i == j): print(" A",verse[j]) else: print(" and a",verse[j]) |
Recreating the problem into a single dictionary, you can solve by approaching it as a FILO queue. Here’s the approach:
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 | lyric = {'first':'partridge in a pear tree.' ,'second':'Two turtle doves,' ,'third':'Three French hens,' ,'fourth':'Four calling birds,' ,'fifth':'Five gold rings,' ,'sixth':'Six geese a-laying,' ,'seventh':'Seven swans a-swimming,' ,'eighth':'maids a-milking,' ,'nineth':'Nine ladies dancing,' ,'tenth':'Ten lords a-leaping,' ,'eleventh':'Eleven pipers piping,' ,'twelfth':'Twelve drummers drumming,'} # Intiate a list for collecting stanza. stanza = list() # Generate a list of keys. for i in lyric.keys(): # Append keys to list of stanza. stanza.append(i) # Print the first line of each stanza. print("On the",i,"day of Christmas my true love sent to me") # Print the progressive stanza. for j in reversed(stanza): if (j not in ['first','twelveth']): print(" ",lyric[j]) elif (i == j): print(" A",lyric[j]) else: print(" and a",lyric[j]) |
As always, I hope this helps for approaches and solutions.
Developing Python Libraries
I put this together to show my students how to simplify writing and testing Python library files. The trick requires that you learn how to set a relative $PYTHONPATH environment file.
export set PYTHONPATH=./lib |
After setting the $PYTHONPATH environment variable, connect to Python’s IDLE environment and run the following code:
import os print(os.environ['PYTHONPATH']) |
It prints the following:
./lib |
You can also discover all the standard libraries and your $PYTHONPATH value in your environment with the following command:
for i in sys.path: print(i) |
It prints the following, which lists the one set by the $PYTHONPATH first:
/home/student/Code/python/path/lib /usr/lib64/python37.zip /usr/lib64/python3.7 /usr/lib64/python3.7/lib-dynload /home/student/.local/lib/python3.7/site-packages /usr/lib64/python3.7/site-packages /usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages |
You create a test my_module.py library file in the relative ./lib directory, like the following:
# Define a hello function that accept a name and prints a salutation. def hello(whom): return "Hello " + whom + "!" |
Next, you can create a testlib.py program:
# Import the hello function into the local namesapce from the my_module. from my_module import hello # Call the module hello, which returns a formatted string. print(hello("Suzie Q")) |
It imports the hello(whom) function into the local namespace and then calls the hello(whom) function with the string literal "Susie". It prints:
Hello Suzie Q! |
If you import the my_module module, you must refer to the hello(whom) function by prefacing it with my_module., like the following example:
# Import the hello function into the local namesapce from the my_module. import my_module # Call the module hello, which returns a formatted string. print(my_module.hello("Suzie Q")) |
A direct import doesn’t add the method to the local namespace. It remains in the my_module‘s namespace.
It’s probably important to note where my_module.pyc files are written for the those migrating from Python 2.7 to Python 3. In Python 2.7 they would be written to the ./lib directory, but in Python 3 they’re written to the ./lib/__pycache__ directory.
As always, I hope this helps those who find it and read it.
Python-Postgres Query
As I committed to a student, here are sample programs for writing a Python query against the Postgres 11 database. The first one returns rows or tuples. The latter formats the text returned as columns.
If you’re one of many looking for the key psycopg2 driver library, you can find it in most distro repositories as: python3-psycopg2. You can use dnf or yum to install it separately or you can install pgadmin4, which includes the psycopg2 library.
The first example returns the entire row from a new_hire table with two rows:
import psycopg2 try: # Open a connection to the database. connection = psycopg2.connect( user="student" , password="student" , port="5432" , dbname="videodb") # Open a cursor. cursor = connection.cursor() # Assign a static query. query = "SELECT * FROM new_hire" # Parse and execute the query. cursor.execute(query) # Fetch all rows from a table. records = cursor.fetchall() # Read through and print the rows as tuples. for row in range(0, len(records)): print(records[row]) except (Exception, psycopg2.Error) as error : print("Error while fetching data from PostgreSQL", error) finally: # Close the database connection. if (connection): cursor.close() connection.close() |
The first example returns the rows as tuples, which is probably desired if you want to consume the result in another Python program. Here’s the output retrieved:
(1001, 'Malcolm', 'Jacob', 'Lewis', datetime.date(2018, 2, 14)) (1002, 'Henry', None, 'Chabot', datetime.date(1990, 7, 31)) |
The second one returns the rows and formats the columns into output for a csv style file:
import psycopg2 try: # Open a connection to the database. connection = psycopg2.connect( user="student" , password="student" , port="5432" , dbname="videodb") # Open a cursor. cursor = connection.cursor() # Assign a static query. query = "SELECT * FROM new_hire" # Parse and execute the query. cursor.execute(query) # Read through and print the formatted columns of each row. for (new_hire_id, first_name, middle_name, last_name, hire_date) in cursor: if (isinstance(middle_name,type(None))): print("{},'{} {}','{:%d-%b-%Y}'".format(new_hire_id, first_name, last_name, hire_date)) else: print("{},'{} {} {}','{:%d-%b-%Y}'".format(new_hire_id, first_name, middle_name, last_name, hire_date)) except (Exception, psycopg2.Error) as error : print("Error while fetching data from PostgreSQL", error) finally: # Close the database connection. if (connection): cursor.close() connection.close() |
The second one returns the rows and formatted columns for a csv style file:
1001,'Malcolm Jacob Lewis','14-Feb-2018' 1002,'Henry Chabot','31-Jul-1990' |
As always, I hope these help those looking for a starting place with Python and Postgres.
pgAdmin4 on Fedora 30
While attempting an install of pgAdmin and updating a Fedora 30 environment, I encountered a conflict on the upgrade of MySQL 8.0.17-1 to 8.0.17.2. The community-mysql-8.0.17-2.fc30.x86_64 had conflicts with:
mysql-community-client-8.0.17-1.fc30.x86_64packagemysql-community-server-8.0.17-1.fc30.x86_64package
I tried to update the system before install pgadmin4 with the following syntax:
dnf -y update && dnf -y install pgadmin4 |
The dnf utility raise the following MySQL package errors during transaction checking:

Since I’m not sure what’s wrong or how to fix it, I’ve put it in my queue of things to get to later. However, when I figure it out I’ll update this blog page with the solution or work around. If anybody knows the fix and would like to share, please let me know.
I removed the pending update packages with the following command:
dnf clean packages |
Then, I simply installed pgadmin4 with the following command:
dnf -y install pgadmin4 |
Display detailed console log →
The pgadmin4 configuration instructions can be found for several Linux versions at Josphat Mutai’s Computing for Geeks web page. On Fedora 30, you need to do the following:
- Install, start, and enable Apache as the
httpdservice unless you already have done that. - Copy the
/etc/httpd/conf.d/pgadmin4.conf.samplefile to/etc/httpd/conf.d/pgadmin4.conf, which is a new file. - Restart the
httpdservice to incorporate thepgadmin4configuration file.
After that, you create the following new directories as the root or sudo user:
/var/lib/pgadmin4/var/log/pgadmin4
You can make both directories with a single mkdir command, like:
mkdir -p /var/lib/pgadmin4 /var/log/pgadmin4 |
As the root or sudo user, change the ownership of these two directories to the apache user with the following syntax:
chown -R apache:apache /var/lib/pgadmin4 /var/log/pgadmin4 |
You add the following four statements to the config_distro.py file in the /usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pgadmin4-web directory as the root or sudo user:
LOG_FILE = '/var/log/pgadmin4/pgadmin4.log' SQLITE_PATH = '/var/lib/pgadmin4/pgadmin4.db' SESSION_DB_PATH = '/var/lib/pgadmin4/sessions' STORAGE_DIR = '/var/lib/pgadmin4/storage' |
You need to setup the pgadmin user with the following python3 command:
python3 /usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pgadmin4-web/setup.py |
Enter the following values, a real email address and a password twice:
NOTE: Configuring authentication for SERVER mode. Enter the email address and password to use for the initial pgAdmin user account: Email address: admin@example.com Password: your_password Retype password: your_password pgAdmin 4 - Application Initialisation ====================================== |
Assuming you have an enabled firewall, you need to issue the following two commands as the root or sudo user:
rirewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=http firewall-cmd --reload |
You invoke pgAdmin4 from within a browser window with the following URL for a stand alone workstation (for a workstation on a DNS network you would enter pgadmin.domain.domain_type in lieu of localhost):
pgadmin/localhost/pgadmin4 |
You most likely will encounter an Internal Server Error, the recommended fix is reputed to be:
ausearch -c 'httpd' --raw | audit2allow -M my-httpd semodule -X 300 -i my-httpd.pp |
It didn’t work for me. At the end of the process, I have an Internal Server Error. It is something that I’ll try to fix next. The actual error message:
Internal Server Error The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. Please contact the server administrator at root@localhost to inform them of the time this error occurred, and the actions you performed just before this error. More information about this error may be available in the server error log. |
If somebody figures out the last step before I do, that’s great. Let me and everybody else know the mystery.
On a positive note, the pgadmin4 package provided the psycopg2 library. I had looked for it as a psycopg2 package but it is in python3-psycopg2 package.
Django on Fedora 30
It seemed opportune to add Django to the Fedora 30 instance that I build and maintain for my students. Here are the instructions, which I developed with the prior Fedora 28/29 instructions.
- Check your Python3 installation with the following command:
python3 -V
It should return this but if it doesn’t you should install
python3:Python 3.7.4
- Check whether
pip3is installation by installing it when its not:sudo def -y install python3-phpIt should return:
Last metadata expiration check: 0:44:52 ago on Tue 10 Sep 2019 11:02:33 AM MDT. Package python3-pip-19.0.3-3.fc30.noarch is already installed. Dependencies resolved. Nothing to do. Complete!
- Check whether
Djangois installation by installing it when its not withpip3installation utility:sudo pip3 install --user DjangoIt should return the following if installed:
Requirement already satisfied: Django in /usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages (2.1.10) Requirement already satisfied: pytz in /usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages (from Django) (2018.5)
- Check your
django-adminaccount location with thewhichutility:which django-admin
It should return the following on Fedora 30 when installed:
/usr/bin/django-admin
- Create a Django test application with the
django-adminutility by creating a project directory. My directory is a bit deep. For reference, it is:/home/student/Code/python/django/projects
Change to that projects directory, and run the following command:
django-admin startproject test_app
After that command change directory with the
cdcommand into thetest_appsubdirectory in yourprojectsdirectory. Run the manage.py program with the following command:python3 manage.py migrateYou should see the following:
Operations to perform: Apply all migrations: admin, auth, contenttypes, sessions Running migrations: Applying contenttypes.0001_initial... OK Applying auth.0001_initial... OK Applying admin.0001_initial... OK Applying admin.0002_logentry_remove_auto_add... OK Applying admin.0003_logentry_add_action_flag_choices... OK Applying contenttypes.0002_remove_content_type_name... OK Applying auth.0002_alter_permission_name_max_length... OK Applying auth.0003_alter_user_email_max_length... OK Applying auth.0004_alter_user_username_opts... OK Applying auth.0005_alter_user_last_login_null... OK Applying auth.0006_require_contenttypes_0002... OK Applying auth.0007_alter_validators_add_error_messages... OK Applying auth.0008_alter_user_username_max_length... OK Applying auth.0009_alter_user_last_name_max_length... OK Applying sessions.0001_initial... OK
Next, your would create an admin account. You’re done.
Python MySQL Query
Somebody asked me how to expand a prior example with the static variables so that it took arguments at the command line for the variables. This example uses Python 3 new features in the datetime package.
There’s a small trick converting the string arguments to date data types. Here’s a quick example that shows you how to convert the argument list into individual date data type variables:
#!/usr/bin/python3 # include standard modules import sys from datetime import datetime # Capture argument list. fullCmdArguments = sys.argv # Assignable variables. beginDate = "" endDate = "" # Assign argument list to variable. argumentList = fullCmdArguments[1:] # Enumerate through the argument list where beginDate precedes endDate as strings. try: for i, s in enumerate(argumentList): if (i == 0): beginDate = datetime.date(datetime.fromisoformat(s)) elif (i == 1): endDate = datetime.date(datetime.fromisoformat(s)) except ValueError: print("One of the first two arguments is not a valid date (YYYY-MM-DD).") # Print the processed values and types. print("Begin Date: [",beginDate,"][",type(beginDate),"]") print("End Date: [",endDate,"][",type(endDate),"]") |
Assume you call this arguments.py. Then, you call it with valid conforming date format value like the following command-line example:
./arguments.py 2001-01-01 2003-12-31 |
It returns the arguments after they have been converted to date data types. The results should look like this:
Begin Date: 1991-01-01 [ <class 'datetime.date'> ] End Date: 2004-12-31 [ <class 'datetime.date'> ] |
The next Python example accepts dynamic arguments at the command line to query the MySQL database:
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 82 83 84 85 86 87 | #!/usr/bin/python3 # Import the library. import sys import mysql.connector from datetime import datetime from datetime import date from mysql.connector import errorcode # Capture argument list. fullCmdArguments = sys.argv # Assignable variables. start_date = "" end_date = "" # Assign argument list to variable. argumentList = fullCmdArguments[1:] # Check and process argument list. # ============================================================ # If there are less than two arguments provide default values. # Else enumerate and convert strings to dates. # ============================================================ if (len(argumentList) < 2): # Set a default start date. if (isinstance(start_date,str)): start_date = date(1980, 1, 1) # Set the default end date. if (isinstance(end_date,str)): end_date = datetime.date(datetime.today()) else: # Enumerate through the argument list where beginDate precedes endDate as strings. try: for i, s in enumerate(argumentList): if (i == 0): start_date = datetime.date(datetime.fromisoformat(s)) elif (i == 1): end_date = datetime.date(datetime.fromisoformat(s)) except ValueError: print("One of the first two arguments is not a valid date (YYYY-MM-DD).") # Attempt the query. # ============================================================ # Use a try-catch block to manage the connection. # ============================================================ try: # Open connection. cnx = mysql.connector.connect(user='student', password='student', host='127.0.0.1', database='studentdb') # Create cursor. cursor = cnx.cursor() # Set the query statement. query = ("SELECT CASE " " WHEN item_subtitle IS NULL THEN item_title " " ELSE CONCAT(item_title,': ',item_subtitle) " " END AS title, " "release_date " "FROM item " "WHERE release_date BETWEEN %s AND %s " "ORDER BY item_title") # Execute cursor. cursor.execute(query, (start_date, end_date)) # Display the rows returned by the query. for (item_name, release_date) in cursor: print("{}, {:%d-%b-%Y}".format(item_name, release_date)) # Handle exception and close connection. # ============================================================ 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 the connection when the try block completes. finally: cnx.close() |
You can call the python-mysql-query.py program with the following syntax:
./python-mysql-query.py 2001-01-01 2003-12-31 |
It returns the films between 1 Jan 2001 and 31 Dec 2003, like this:
Clear and Present Danger: Special Collector's Edition, 06-May-2003 Die Another Day: 2-Disc Ultimate Version, 03-Jun-2003 Die Another Day, 03-Jun-2003 Die Another Day, 03-Jun-2003 Golden Eye, 03-Jun-2003 Golden Eye: Special Edition, 03-Jun-2003 Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, 28-May-2002 Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets: Two-Disc Special Edition, 28-May-2002 Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, 28-May-2002 Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone: Two-Disc Special Edition, 28-May-2002 Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone: Full Screen Edition, 28-May-2002 MarioKart: Double Dash, 17-Nov-2003 Pirates of the Caribbean, 30-Jun-2003 RoboCop, 24-Jul-2003 Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory, 08-Apr-2003 Star Wars II: Attack of the Clones, 16-May-2002 Star Wars II: Attack of the Clones, 16-May-2002 The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, 30-Jun-2003 The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, 16-May-2002 |
As always, I hope this helps somebody who wants to learn how to use Python with the MySQL database.
MySQL Python Connector
While building my student image on Fedora 30, I installed the MySQL PHP Connector (php-mysqlndrp) but neglected to install the Python Connector. This adds the installation and basic test of the Python Connector to the original blog post.
You use the following command with a wildcard as a privileged user. The wildcard is necessary because you need to load two libraries to support Python 2.7 and 3.7, which are installed on Fedora 30. You also need to be the root user or a user that is found in the sudoer’s list:
yum install -y mysql-connector-python* |

Leveraging the MySQL Connector/Python Coding Examples documentation, Section 5.1 Connecting to MySQL Using Connector/Python here’s a test of the connection to MySQL 8.

Leveraging the MySQL Connector/Python Coding Examples documentation, Section 5.4 Querying Data Using Connector/Python here’s a test of the connection to MySQL 8.
# Import the library. import datetime import mysql.connector from mysql.connector import errorcode try: # Open connection. cnx = mysql.connector.connect(user='student', password='student', host='127.0.0.1', database='studentdb') # Create cursor. cursor = cnx.cursor() # Set the query statement. query = ("SELECT " "CASE " " WHEN item_subtitle IS NULL THEN item_title " " ELSE CONCAT(item_title,': ',item_subtitle) " "END AS title, " "release_date " "FROM item " "WHERE release_date BETWEEN %s AND %s " "ORDER BY item_title") # Set the start and end date. start_date = datetime.date(1991, 1, 1) end_date = datetime.date(2004, 12, 31) # Execute cursor. cursor.execute(query, (start_date, end_date)) # Display the rows returned by the query. for (item_name, release_date) in cursor: print("{}, {:%d %b %Y}".format(item_name, release_date)) # Close cursor. cursor.close() # ------------------------------------------------------------ # Handle exception and close connection. 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 the connection when the try block completes. else: cnx.close() |
If you run the above in Python 2.7 it works fine. It fails to parse successfully in Python 3.x because the print() function requires the parentheses all the time. You would need to re-write the except block, like this with the parentheses:
# Handle exception and close connection. 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 |
While it works without the parentheses in Python 2.7, it also works with the parentheses. That means the best practice is to write cross compatible code by always using the parentheses with the print() function.
As always, I hope this helps somebody.j
Read list of a dictionaries
My students wanted a quick example of how to read a list of a dictionaries in Python. So, here it is:
#!/usr/bin/python # Declare list of dictionaries. cakes = [{'cake':"vanilla",'frosting':"chocolate"} ,{'cake':"chocolate",'frosting':"vanilla"}] # Read the list of dictionaries. for lkey, lvalue in enumerate(cakes): print lvalue['cake'] + " with " + lvalue['frosting'] + " frosting." |
Naturally, a list can contain many things and you should ensure each value you read is a dictionary before trying to read it as a dictionary. At least, I’d suggest you check.
Hope this answers the how.
Installing PIP for Python
If you’re on a Mac running macOS Sierra, you can install PIP to add packages. PIP stands for either of the following:
- PIP installs Packages
- PIP installs Python
You use the following to install the PIP utility:
