pyqgis - copy column into another layer column programatically


I have two layers where different columns exist. I want to copy a layer column into antoher layer column programatically. I have done the below code so far:


layerNameValueSet = "PLATFORM"
#columnNameSet where to value add
columnNameSet = "ZONEID"

#LayerName Where to copy column values
layerNameValueGet= "LOT"
#Above layer's[layerNameValueGet] cloumn name from value will be get for copy in layerNameValueSet
columnNameGet = "ZONEID"


#Getting layer of specifc name
layerNameValueSetObj = QgsMapLayerRegistry.instance().mapLayersByName(layerNameValueSet)[0];
layerNameValueGetObj = QgsMapLayerRegistry.instance().mapLayersByName(layerNameValueGet)[0];

fieldIndexToSet = layerNameValueSetObj.fieldNameIndex(columnNameSet)
fieldIndexToGet = layerNameValueGetObj.fieldNameIndex(columnNameGet)

for getFeature in layerNameValueGetObj.getFeatures():


#this logic is not correct /taking too much time hanging

for setFeature in layerNameValueSetObj.getFeatures():
if(getFeature.id() == setFeature.id()):
layerNameValueSetObj.startEditing()
updateValue = getFeature[columnNameGet]
layerNameValueSetObj.changeAttributeValue(setFeature.id(), fieldIndexToSet, updateValue)
layerNameValueSetObj.commitChanges()

Answer



Finally zip help me to do this Job. I run both loop simultaneously in one loop and here is the answer:



import itertools
#layerNameValueSet Where to copy column values
layerNameValueSet = "PLATFORM"
#columnNameSet where to value add
columnNameSet = "ZONEID"

#LayerName Where to copy column values
layerNameValueGet= "LOT"
#Above layer's[layerNameValueGet] cloumn name from value will be get for copy in layerNameValueSet
columnNameGet = "ZONEID"


#Getting layer of specifc name
layerNameValueSetObj = QgsMapLayerRegistry.instance().mapLayersByName(layerNameValueSet)[0];
layerNameValueGetObj = QgsMapLayerRegistry.instance().mapLayersByName(layerNameValueGet)[0];

fieldIndexToSet = layerNameValueSetObj.fieldNameIndex(columnNameSet)
fieldIndexToGet = layerNameValueGetObj.fieldNameIndex(columnNameGet)

#running two loops simeltenously so that copy one value into antoher
for getFeature, setFeature in zip(layerNameValueGetObj.getFeatures(), layerNameValueSetObj.getFeatures()):

layerNameValueSetObj.startEditing()
updateValue = getFeature[columnNameGet]
layerNameValueSetObj.changeAttributeValue(setFeature.id(), fieldIndexToSet, updateValue)
layerNameValueSetObj.commitChanges()
