Question

I’m trying to add some records into a dictionary.

Initially I was doing it this way

licenses = [dict(licenseid=row[0], client=row[1], macaddress=row[2], void=row[18]) for row in db]

But I’ve since realized I need to do some processing to filter records from db, so I tried changing the code to:

for rec in db:
    if rec['deleted'] == False:
       licenses.update(dict(licenseid=row[0], client=row[1], macaddress=row[2], void=row[18])

That code runs without exceptions, but I only end up with the last db record in licenses, which is confusing me.

Answer 1

I think licenses is a list:

licenses = []
...

and you should append to it new dictionaries:

licenses.append(dict(...))
