Hi there,

Just a quick bug report. I'm using psycopg2 with a NamedTupleCursor, which returns namedtuples for rows. I'm trying to use DataFrame.from_records like so:

df = DataFrame.from_records(rows, rows[0]._fields)

I get the following error:

TypeError                                 Traceback (most recent call last)
/Users/kdevens/source/(etc.) <ipython-input-46-3e705b917abc> in <module>()
----> 1 df = DataFrame.from_records(rows, rows[0]._fields)

/Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/pandas-0.6.1-py2.6-macosx-10.6-universal.egg/pandas/core/frame.pyc in from_records(cls, data, index, exclude, columns, names)
    533             columns, sdict = _rec_to_dict(data)
    534         else:
--> 535             sdict, columns = _list_to_sdict(data, columns)
    536 
    537         if exclude is None:

/Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/pandas-0.6.1-py2.6-macosx-10.6-universal.egg/pandas/core/frame.pyc in _list_to_sdict(data, columns)
   3547 def _list_to_sdict(data, columns):
   3548     if isinstance(data[0], tuple):
-> 3549         content = list(lib.to_object_array_tuples(data).T)
   3550     else:
   3551         # list of lists


/Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/pandas-0.6.1-py2.6-macosx-10.6-universal.egg/pandas/_tseries.so in pandas._tseries.to_object_array_tuples (pandas/src/tseries.c:52160)()

TypeError: Expected tuple, got Record

So it looks like in tseries.c it's doing something like "type(row) == tuple" instead of "isinstance(row, tuple)". For what it's worth, "isinstance(rows[0], tuple)" is true, so the tuples returned by psycopg2 are definitely real namedtuples. Additionally, the following works fine:

In [49]: dictrows = [r._asdict() for r in rows]

In [50]: df = DataFrame.from_dict(dictrows)

So there's no problem with the data, or with DataFrame, just the type check in tseries.c.

Let me know if I can provide any more information! Thanks.
