Python, MySQL and SELECT output to dictionary with column names for keys

Question

I have a MySQL table on which I’m executing SELECT statements within Python.

Is there anything out of the Python MySQLdb API that will, via the cursor, output an array of dictionaries whose keys are the column names (and values are those in the returned rows)?

Answer 1

Please use dictionary cursor:

cursor = conn.cursor (MySQLdb.cursors.DictCursor)

Answer 2

For me, this worked:

cursor = conn.cursor(dictionary=True)

Detailed example:

import mysql.connector # pip install mysql-connector-python

conn = mysql.connector.connect(host="localhost", user="user", passwd="pass", database="dbname")
cursor = conn.cursor(dictionary=True)
sql = "SELECT * FROM `table` WHERE 1"
cursor.execute(sql)
rows = cursor.fetchall()
for row in rows:
    row["col"]
