records API
Import things >>> from desktopcouch.records.server import CouchDatabase >>> from desktopcouch.records.record import Record Get a database (creating it if it’s not there) >>> db = CouchDatabase('testing', create=True) Create a record in that database. Records need a record type >>> r = Record({'a':'b'}, record_type='http://example.com/testrecord') Records work like Python dictionaries >>> r['c'] = ['d','e','f'] Save the record >>> record_id = db.put_record(r) Get a record by ID >>> fetched = db.get_record(record_id) >>> print fetched['a'] b
