    <p>I've read <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/216972/in-python-what-does-it-mean-if-an-object-is-subscriptable-or-not">a thread on what a (non)subscriptable object is</a> but it doesn't tell me what i can do about it.</p> <p>I have a code calling a <code>mypost</code> private module. The aim is to set up mail accounts and to do this i create <code>MailAccounts()</code> objects defined in the <code>mypost</code> module. Quantity of accounts and their respective details are described in a configuration file. When the application starts, it collects account information and stores it in a dictionary, the structure of which is: <code>accounts = {service : { &lt;MailAccounts Object at xxxxx&gt; : {username : myusername, password : mypassword}}}</code> where <code>service</code> can be "gmail" and where <code>MailAccounts</code> is the class defined in the <code>mypost</code> module. So far so good. When however i want to setup the account, i need to call its method: <code>MailAccounts.setupAccount(username, password)</code>. I do this by iterating each MailAccount object of the dictionary and ask to run the method:</p> <pre><code>for service in accounts: for account in accounts[service]: account.setupAccount(account['username'], account['password']) </code></pre> <p>But as you may have guessed it didn't work, Python returns:</p> <p><code>TypeError: 'MailAccount' object is not subscriptable</code></p> <p>If i create the same account manually however it works:</p> <pre><code>account = MailAccount() account.setupAccount('myusername', 'mypassword') </code></pre> <p>Now i believe it has something to do with the fact that my <code>&lt;MailAccount Object at xxxx&gt;</code> is a dictionary key right? That makes it non-subscriptable (whatever that may mean)?</p> <p>No what exactly does this mean to be non-subscriptable? What does it imply in this example? And of course: how can i solve / bypass this in this case?</p> <p>Thanks, Benjamin :)</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
