Lacking any good examples of how to use python’s couchdb module, I’ve managed to make pretty impressive progress (for me) on a 4th of July holiday.
I’ll try to recreated it here for others although I know it’ll be incomplete.
Consider it a syntactical example;
import couchdb
s = couchdb.Server(’http://localhost:5984/’) ##why can’t it default to this?
db = s['stock_values']
ids = []
stock_values = {}
for doc in db:ids.append(doc)
d = db[doc]
stock_values[d['symbol']] = d['historical_data']
More good examples are in the code;

why do you need a database for your couches? do you really have that many to keep track of?
Silly Chris,
couchdb is for geeks!

Picture simplicity as an evolutionary trait and apply it to databases.
We’re not yet sure if it’ll yield a failed branch of a full trunk but it’s a great exploration!

[...] you’ve seen from my previous posts I’ve been playing with python, couchdb and been working my way through the “Programming Collective Intelligence” book. [...]
