Assigning QDictionary in qpython to kdb

[powerpeanuts1]

This might not be directly relevant to kdb/q, as qpython is a third-party library. Let’s say we have a QDictionary qdict in python. How can we send this dictionary to kdb?

https://qpython.readthedocs.io/en/latest/type-conversion.html#dictionaries

pseudo code:

 

qdict = QDictionary(qlist(numpy.array([1,2],dtype=numpy.int64),qtype=QLONG\_LIST),qlist(numpy.array(['abc','cdefgh']),qtype=QSYMBOL\_LIST))



withqconnection.QConnection(host='localhost',port=5000)asq:  
 q('mydict:', qdict)

You want to store it in a global variable in q?

Then you can use a lambda and :: or set 

 

q(‘{`mydict set x}’, qdict) q(‘{mydict::x}’, qdict)
