Type Errors on returned data

[arbitrarypunter]

Hi Just tried upgrading form 0.5.1 to 0.5.2 and indeed 0.6.0. Is it a deliberate change to move away from json formatted output to space delimited key/value pairs? for example with 0.5.2 i get this error pulling some basic information:

form this bit of code: personal_tab_data = people._scraper.get_personal_tab(i) print(personal_tab_data["membership_number"], personal_tab_data["forenames"], personal_tab_data["surname"], end=',', sep=',')

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/agoodall/compass/get-expiry-data.py", line 67, in print(personal_tab_data["membership_number"], personal_tab_data["forenames"], personal_tab_data["surname"], end=',', sep=',') TypeError: 'MemberDetails' object is not subscriptable

and in 0.6.0 i get a similar error while trying to pull data out of the training_tab_data Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/agoodall/compass/test.py", line 30, in print(training_tab_data["mandatory"]["GDPR"]['completed_date']) TypeError: 'MemberTrainingTab' object is not subscriptable

Thanks

Hi Adam,

Not sure re space delimited key/value pairs?

See the updated script via email, but the gist is that through adopting pydantic to ensure data is valdidated we've moved away from literal dict/lists and towards typed models.

So you would access the same data by training_tab_data.mandatory.gdpr.completed_date (noting also the field names changed, requiring a 0.Y.0 release as breaking change)

This also helps development with autocompletion in the IDE, as attributes (dot notation) can be autocompleted whereas dict keys usually can't.

Adam If if only i had read my email first before starting to look at this! Sorry for the noise. And thanks very much for your help.
