You haven't used this:
IGNORE_RULES
in your call to setValue.
Also, you have a double call to close; delete the first one.
resp does not benefit from being pre-initialized to an empty string; you can delete that line.
The only other thing I see is that this:
params = [
param for param in request.getQueryParams()
if param.startswith('f_')
]
paramdict = {
p[2:]: request.getQueryParam(p)
for p in params
}
can be condensed to only the dictionary comprehension:
paramdict = {
p[2:]: request.getQueryParam(p)
for p in request.getQueryParams()
if p.startswith('f_')
}
