12,002 PointsIf I change the number of points for a username, it doesn't update my database to the highest points holder.
The database holds onto the highest points holder when I created the database. When I created the database jeremy was the highest points holder. Then I changed my list of dictionaries to have steve have the highest points total. Though the database still says jeremy is the highest points holder. I saved the file and restarted the console as well. Still no fix. Thanks
from peewee import *
db = SqliteDatabase('students.db')
class Student(Model):
username = CharField(max_length=255, unique=True)
points = IntegerField(default=0)
class Meta:
database = db
students = [
{'username': 'jeremy',
'points': 1400},
{'username': 'matt',
'points': 11912},
{'username': 'kevin',
'points': 7363},
{'username': 'annie',
'points': 4079},
{'username': 'steve',
'points': 14717}
]

56,413 PointsWhen the student record already exists and you are trying to update the points you're assigning to student_record_points
which is creating a new variable, not updating the points property in the Student object. You should use student_record.points
instead.
except IntegrityError:
student_record = Student.get(username = student['username'])
student_record.points = student['points']
student_record.save()
