Question

import os

from sqlalchemy import create_engine
from sqlalchemy.orm import scoped_session, sessionmaker

engine = create_engine("postgres://kali:kali@localhost/mydb")
db = scoped_session(sessionmaker(bind=engine))

def main():
    flights = db.execute ("SELECT origin, destination, duration FROM flights;").fetchall()
    for flight in flights:
        print(f"{flight.origin} to {flight.destination}, {flight.duration} minutes.")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

After i execute python , he send for me: I do not know the reason Error:

I try change "engine = create_engine("postgres://kali:kali@localhost/mydb")" to "engine = create_engine(os.getenv("postgres://kali:kali@localhost:5432/mydb"))" and:

" AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute '_instantiate_plugins' "

Answer 1

sqlalchemy.exc.ProgrammingError: (psycopg2.errors.UndefinedTable) relation "flights" does not exist Means that you don't have a table by the name of(flights) in your database.

Create the table like this: CREATE TABLE flights(id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL, origin VARCHAR NOT NULL, destination VARCHAR NOT NULL, duration INTEGER NOT NULL); Then try running your application, it should work.
