php - Django: how to get a model's keys -

so trying world of python , django. coming php, many things similar, have hard time figuring out how following.

in php this:

$q = $this->db->query('select * data');  foreach ($q->result_array() $key => $value) {     switch ($key) {         [...]     } } 

now, question is: how can accomplish similar in django / python? have setup:

from index.models import foo  def index(request):     datalist = foo.objects.get(id=1) 

and what?

note: query in php snippet not match 1 in django snippet start with. php 1 select * data python 1 select * data id = 1, i'm gonna go ahead , assume intended foo.objects.all() instead of foo.objects.get(id=1). if didn't, please fix question, , remove looping part of code snippets below. also, should find better name variable datalist if it's going contain 1 item not list name suggests, source of confusion me initially.

you haven't described goal is, here few options might potentially match needs:

for obj in datalist:     print "%s => %s" % (obj.id, obj) 

...or if want iterate on key-value pairs of objects:

for obj in datalist:     print "object %s" % obj.id     field in foo._meta.fields:         print "  %s => %s" % (field.name, getattr(obj, field.name) 

...or can use django.forms.models.model_to_dict helper convert objects dictionaries:

from django.forms.models import model_to_dict  obj in datalist:     print "object %s" % obj.id     key, value in model_to_dict(obj_as_dict).items():         print "  %s => %s" % (key, value)
