Hi;
I have this code:
cursor.execute('describe products;')
cols = [item[0] for item in cursor]
cols = cols.reverse()
cols.append('Delete')
cols = cols.reverse()
Unfortunately, the list doesn't reverse. If I print cols after the first
reverse(), it prints None. Please advise. Also, is there a way to append to
the front of the list directly?
TIA,
beno
The reverse() method reverses that cols object just fine, in place.
Unfortunately, you immediately assign it a new value of None.
Just remove the cols= and it'll work fine.
If you want to understand the problem better, read up on reverse() and
reversed(). They're very different.
In answer to your second question, you could combine the last three
lines as:
cols.insert('Delete', 0)
