Question

How do i create an associative array in django? i am new to python

models is a queryset

models = Models.objects.filter(year = 1999)

Essenstially i am looking to create something that has values:

for model in models:
    newarray = {'item1' :model.item1 , 'item2' : model.item2}

it doesnt seem to work

i cant access newarray[0] or newarray[1] etc. What am I doing wrong here?

Answer 1

Python’s dictionaries are pure associative arrays; they cannot be accessed by numerical index. Use newarray['item1'] or newarray['item2'] instead.
