This methods extracts a list of fields from a Python object and creates a dict (Python equivalent to Map) with the field names as keys and the values.
It is useful when the relevant fields are serializable.
Usage example:
An alternative and more powerful option is to add a converter as demonstrated here: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/pybridge-non-linear-regression-with-scipy.166985/#content
It is useful when the relevant fields are serializable.
B4X:
Private Sub ObjectToDict (Obj As PyWrapper, Fields As List) As PyWrapper
Dim entries As List = B4XCollections.CreateList(Null)
For Each key As String In Fields
entries.Add(Array(key, Obj.GetField(key)))
Next
Return Py.Builtins.Run("dict").Arg(entries)
End SubUsage example:
B4X:
Public Sub RunCommand (Command As String) As ResumableSub
Wait For (mConn.RunAwait("run", Array(Command), Null)) Complete (Result As PyWrapper)
'Result is a Python object that can't be serialized directly, so we extract the fields:
Wait For (ObjectToDict(Result, Array("stdout", "stderr", "exit_status")).Fetch) Complete (Result As PyWrapper)
Return Result
