What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Have a table with a column named 2013.03.01 2. Fetch a row using a cursor 3. Try to manipulate data in the '2013.03.01' column in a for loop (for row in rows: )

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I would expect to get the data from the column, but I get syntax error:

print(row.2013.03.01) ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax

print(row.'2013.03.01') ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax

When I try to assign the column name to a variable such as colname (colname = str('2014.04.01')) and call row.colname, I get a object row has no attribute colname error.

for row in rows: colname = str("2013.03.01") print(row.colname)

AttributeError: 'pyodbc.Row' object has no attribute 'colname'

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Python 2.7.6 | Anaconda 1.9.1 (64-bit)

pyodbc 3.0.7

Please provide any additional information below.

I also tried escaping the '.' with \ but that did not change anything either.

I should add that there are ways to get around this, in the same way that one would get around spaces in a column name or other oddities. Certainly, it's not a high priority, and perhaps there is no priority at all due to the available workarounds.
