Mike,

FWIW  I have a Github repo that has all the examples from the book I wrote a few years ago about Open Source on IBM i.  If you are still poking around python in general, there might be something there that could be helpful.  Nothing specific to your current foray but available if you want to check it out....

Well, I'm back at it. I have successfully created a python script to create a spreadsheet. I took an existing RPG pgm and created a python script to duplicate the results.

Now I'm on to step 2, which I have been working on for a few days, and can't find the solution.
I'm trying to use parameter markers passing in parms to the script.

So my call is like this
python3 actchgdt.py 49490 20190101 20190131

this basics of my code are

cursor = conn.cursor()
acct = sys.argv[1]
begdate = sys.argv[2]
enddate = sys.argv[3]
query = (conn,"select bhuact, bhubld, bhuutl, rvdes, bhuuse, bhuamt, bhutax " \
"from ublhu inner join urvc on bhurvc = rvrvc" \
"and bhuact = ? and bhubld between ? and ? " \
"and bhurvc <> ' ' " \
"order by bhubld, bhuact, bhurvc ",(acct, begdate, enddate))
cursor.execute(query)

when I execute I get errors.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "actchgdt.py", line 21, in <module>
cursor.execute(query)
File "/QOpenSys/pkgs/lib/python3.6/site-packages/ibm_db_dbi.py", line 1386, in execute
self.messages.append(InterfaceError("execute expects the first argument [%s] to be of type String or Unicode." % operation ))
TypeError: not all arguments converted during string formatting

These are all numeric fields in my database.

I've tried different methods for using the parms, but this is the latest iteration.

Thanks

Mike

Thanks Kevin
I now see the same version for both users.
I installed pip3. After installing, I tried to install a package. It suggested I upgrade from pip 9.0.1 to 19.3.1 I have successfully done this.
So that's a couple of positive steps forward.

Then I tried to install xlsxwriter.
After realizing I typed it is xlxswriter, I now have that successfully installed.
Another step forward.

One more quick question specific to python syntax.
If I have this query.
query = "select cusnum, lstnam, init, cdtlmt from qiws.qcustcdt where cdtlmt > 100"
setup a connection, cursor and then execute the cursor.
Then I have the below code to write to a .csv file.

with open('qcustcdt.csv', 'w', newline='') as file:
csvf = writer(file, quoting=QUOTE_NONNUMERIC)
for row in cur:
csvf.writerow([trim_col(col) for col in row])

how would I reference a specific field.
For example if I only wanted to write a row if lstnam = 'SMITH'
I tried if lstname = 'SMITH'
I tried if ['lstname'] = 'SMITH'

Thanks again for helping get me straightened out on the versions and pip. I really appreciate it.

Mike

Ok - so 2 things. Supermike is getting his path set so the YUM packages are first. Mike isn't. Short term you can fix mike when you log in, but you should run through the steps on the page I sent earlier to make it permanent. Run the path statement on mike, and you should get the same python3 --version output.

PATH=/QOpenSys/pkgs/bin:$PATH

As for pip3 - go into the open source package management in ACS and see if you have python3-pip installed. If not, install it. Then try again.

Yea - I forgot I was in /QOpensys/pkgs/bin when I ran the commands. There has to be a path difference between supermike and mike. Lets try this.
To make sure the YUM packages are setup correctly, on either user (only have to do this once)

ls -l /QOpenSys/pkgs/bin/python*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 qsys 0 18 Oct 4 2018 /QOpenSys/pkgs/bin/python2 -> python2.7
lrwxrwxrwx 1 qsys 0 32 Oct 4 2018 /QOpenSys/pkgs/bin/python2-config -> python2.7-config
-rwxr-xr-x 1 qsys 0 178632 Jul 10 2018 /QOpenSys/pkgs/bin/python2.7
-rwxr-xr-x 1 qsys 0 1691 Jul 10 2018 /QOpenSys/pkgs/bin/python2.7-config
lrwxrwxrwx 1 qsys 0 18 Dec 5 16:04 /QOpenSys/pkgs/bin/python3 -> python3.6
lrwxrwxrwx 1 qsys 0 32 Dec 5 16:04 /QOpenSys/pkgs/bin/python3-config -> python3.6-config
-rwxr-xr-x 2 qsys 0 235122 Oct 31 12:32 /QOpenSys/pkgs/bin/python3.6
lrwxrwxrwx 1 qsys 0 34 Dec 5 16:04 /QOpenSys/pkgs/bin/python3.6-config -> python3.6m-config
-rwxr-xr-x 2 qsys 0 235122 Oct 31 12:32 /QOpenSys/pkgs/bin/python3.6m
-rwxr-xr-x 1 qsys 0 3068 Oct 31 12:34 /QOpenSys/pkgs/bin/python3.6m-config

ls -l /QOpenSys/pkgs/bin/pip*
/QOpenSys/pkgs/bin/pip* not found

on both supermike and mike
echo $PATH
supermike
/QOpenSys/pkgs/bin:/QOpenSys/usr/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:/QOpenSys/usr/bin/X11:/usr/sbin:.:/usr/bin

Mike

/QOpenSys/usr/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:/QOpenSys/usr/bin/X11:/usr/sbin:.:/usr/bin

I ran the 2 statements you provided under supermike, then ran a echo $PATH for both users after signing off and back on.

Thanks

MIke

This isn't correct shell syntax or ls syntax.

ls doesn't go look around your environment; it just looks in the current directory or directory provided in the argument list (unless you use arguments to make it recurse, but again, that only happens descending from the current directory or one you name in the argument list).
