Parsing Object Script arrays in Python

Question

Question

Marlin Mixon · Apr 14, 2021

Is there a way to automatically transform Object Script arrays to Python lists? This code results in a list of arrays

Iter0 =  dbnative.iterator("HS.Data.OIDMapD")
for subscript, value in Iter0.items():
    print(f"subscript={subscript}, value={value}")

Here is the result:

subscript=1, value=2.16.840.1.113883.3.86ISCInterSystems Corporation

I suppose it would be too hard to parse this into a list, I was just wondering if there was a function provided to make it convenient and proper.

Thanks,

For community Python Gateway I wrote an $lb -> tuple converter.

You can check it out here. To be callable from Python you can expose it as a Python C extension.

A little bit of cosmetics in your printf could make it JSON formatted.

print(f'{{"subscript":{subscript},"value":"{value}"}}')

which should result in a nice conveniant JSON object

{
"subscript":1,
"value":"2.16.840.1.113883.3.86ISCInterSystems Corporation"
}
