can you select a document with some query language

db = couch["foo"]

to select a database.

Why do I get a connection refused error when I try to do line 3?

@eric Make sure your server is running.

Is there some API documentation somewhere ?

Comment by robertsh@gmail.com, Apr 5, 2010

There is a good example here

http://davidwatson.org/2008/02/python-couchdb-rocks.html

The documentation comes with the py-module.

When trying to insert a document { u'id' : 1, u'name' : u'Sam' }, db.save(dict) fails with the following exception trace. Is there are work around this issue?

File "build\bdist.win32\egg\couchdb\client.py", line 404, in save
func = self.resource(doc['id']).put_json
File "build\bdist.win32\egg\couchdb\http.py", line 365, in call
obj = type(self)(urljoin(self.url, path), self.session)
File "build\bdist.win32\egg\couchdb\http.py", line 501, in urljoin
path = '/'.join([''] + [quote(s) for s in path])
File "build\bdist.win32\egg\couchdb\http.py", line 453, in quote
return urllib.quote(string, safe)
File "C:\Tools\python\python27\lib\urllib.py", line 1229, in quote
if not s.rstrip(safe):

AttributeError?: 'int' object has no attribute 'rstrip'

There really needs to be more of a tutorial/getting started,

let me point seeking souls to http://packages.python.org/CouchDB/getting-started.html

There seems to be no way to authenticate the admin user want to create database
