How to get a dictionary or list from

Question

Using py2neo to connect to neo4j DB: How can I convert "class 'py2neo.database.Record'" to a dictionary or list in python?

Which version of py2neo are you using? And what does your query return? — Martin Preusse, May 18 '16 at 10:52

You can directly convert a Record to a list:

result = graph.cypher.execute('MATCH (n) RETURN n')

a_record = result[0] # -> this is a Record object

list_of_things_in_record = list(a_record)

print(list_of_things_in_record)

Same applies for `dict` - you can wrap a `Record` in the function. – Nigel Small May 19 '16 at 08:11
@NigelSmall If you were using py2neo3 with the cursor, how would you do it? – steven.levey Jun 08 '16 at 06:48
This just creates a list with a single item. That item is the record – Qohelet Jul 14 '21 at 12:02

Seems the data()-Method in any neo4j.data.Record can convert it into a dict.

with self.driver.session() as session:
    records = session.write_transaction(self._return_nodes, cypher)
    rdict = [rec.data() for rec in records]
    return rdict


 @staticmethod
    def _return_nodes(tx, cypher):        
        return [rec for rec in tx.run(cypher)]
