Variables inside plpythonu

From

Hi folks,

I did check the documentation but seem to didn't found the best way to
use plpythonu with a variable inside a query.
Let's say I want to run this query
SELECT id FROM some_table WHERE date=<date_from_function_call>
How a CREATE FUNCTION stateent have to look like?
I already figured out that the python code should look similar to

plan = plpy.prepare("SELECT id FROM some_table WHERE date=????
return = plpy.execure(plan)

But somehow a last piece is missing.

Can anybody help?

Cheers,
Frank

Something like this?:

create or replace function date_test(some_date date) returns void as
$Body$
date_plan = plpy.prepare("select id_fld from date_test where date_fld = $1", ["date"])
date_rs = plpy.execute(date_plan,[some_date])
plpy.notice(date_rs[0]["id_fld"])
$Body$
language plpythonu;


test=# SELECT * from date_test where date_fld='2008-08-28'::date;
 id_fld |  date_fld  | date_per | date_qty | line_id
--------+------------+----------+----------+---------
      1 | 2008-08-28 |          |          |      14
      1 | 2008-08-28 |          | 1 day    |      15
      1 | 2008-08-28 |          |          |      14
      1 | 2008-08-28 |          | 1 day    |      15
      1 | 2008-08-28 |          |          |      14
      1 | 2008-08-28 |          | 1 day    |      15


test=# SELECT * from date_test('2008-08-28'::date);
                                                            
NOTICE:  {'id_fld': 1}
                                                            
CONTEXT:  PL/Python function "date_test"
                                                            
 date_test
