how to display data from a file?

Question

please help bring this file data.

code:

import tkinter
import shelve

def fileOpen():
    print('start output dictonary "db"', end = '\n')
    try:  
        db = shelve.open('data', 'r')        
    except:
        print('invalid filename. try again')
    else:    
        for record in db:
            print(record, ':: ', end = '\n')
            print('\ttype:\t', db[record].type, end = '\n')
            print('\tnumber:\t', db[record].number, end = '\n')
            print('\tvideo:\t', db[record].video, end = '\n')
            print('\taudio:\t', db[record].audio, end = '\n')
            print('=================')
            db.close()

def recAction(event, id, **args):
    print('ID: ', id, end = '\n')
    for arg in args:
        print(arg, '---', args[arg], end = '\n')

    db = shelve.open('data')

    try:
        db[id] = args
    except:
        tkinter.messagebox.showerror("Error", "invalid record. try again")
    else:
        db.close()
        tkinter.messagebox.showinfo("Complete", "Record complete")

    print('OK. now output dictonary "db"')
    fileOpen()

root = tkinter.Tk()
button = tkinter.Button(root, text = 'Send', height = 20, width = 20, relief = 'raised', cursor = 'hand1', font = ('times', 14, 'bold'))
button.bind('<Button-1>', lambda event: recAction(event, '1', type = 'dvd', number = '13', video = 'srat wars', audio = 'soundtrack'))
button.pack()

root.mainloop()

here functions recAction () is a write data to a file data. then function fileOpen () is output to the screen. the problem is that when data is output an error message:

Exception in Tkinter callback Traceback (most recent call last):   File "C:\Python33\lib\tkinter\__init__.py", line 1475, in __call__
    return self.func(*args)   File "C:\Python33\projects\DVD_LIST\p3_dvd_list_shelve_3d_class_edit_menubar\q.py", line 40, in <lambda>
    button.bind('<Button-1>', lambda event: recAction(event, '1', type = 'dvd', number = '13', video = 'srat wars', audio = 'soundtrack'))   File "C:\Python33\projects\DVD_LIST\p3_dvd_list_shelve_3d_class_edit_menubar\q.py", line 36, in recAction
    fileOpen()   File "C:\Python33\projects\DVD_LIST\p3_dvd_list_shelve_3d_class_edit_menubar\q.py", line 13, in fileOpen
    print('\ttype:\t', db[record].type, end = '\n') AttributeError: 'dict' object has no attribute 'type'

Answer 1

In the for record in db loop you're iterating a dictionary.

Dictionaries can be iterated over in a better way.

for record_key, record_value in db.items():
    print(record_key, ':: ', end = '\n')
    print('\ttype:\t', record_value['type'], end = '\n')
    print('\tnumber:\t', record_value['number'], end = '\n')
    print('\tvideo:\t', record_value['video'], end = '\n')
    print('\taudio:\t', record_value['audio'], end = '\n')
    print('=================')

The error message indicates db[record] is dictionary as well.
