SQLAlchemy

Selecting Booleans

My previous post (updated!) demonstrated how Mako's "defs with embedded content" feature was used to build a library of form tags, keeping all HTML and layout within templates, as well as a succinct method of linking them to form validation and data state. The "def with embedded content", a feature derived from HTML::Mason, [...]

If you're a web developer in New York City, unless you work here, here or maybe here, you're probably not using Python for primary development (if you are, please post your company here). Since I'm not a PHP monkey or a Microsoftie, everywhere I work they're using Struts, which is where [...]

Django's already got one, and Brian Rosner made one for us too: link. SQLA's pre-release development is apparent here which is why it floats around "zzzeek" for so long.

Reddit has opened their source up, and we can now see just what they've been up to. It's been known for some time that Reddit was (re)built using Pylons and Mako templates, contrary to their FAQ which still states that they use web.py. As it turns out, they've also built something [...]

Jason and I spent a full eight days in Chicago this year, with a full slate of activities. While we didn’t commit to SQLAlchemy sprints ahead of time (and were therefore not officially rostered), we sprinted the entire time on SA and had picked up two or three folks to sprint with us, as [...]

Continuing the topic of slides, heres the slides from my Pycon ‘08 talk, SQLAlchemy 0.4 and Beyond.

Jason has posted the slides and Python scripts from our Advanced SQLAlchemy Tutorial at Pycon 2008. The tutorial went great, as we gave people a “slide runner” script which let them click through each code example in a customized Python shell - it helped a lot with the flow. Scripts, handouts [...]

Jason Kirtland discusses some advanced usage of SQLAlchemy’s collections framework: Storing a Dictionary of Lists, which he terms a “Partitioned Collection”. A “collection” in that the ultimate storage is a single series of items, “partitioned” in ... [More] that each item contains a discriminator of some kind which allows the monolithic collection to be [...] [Less]

While the ORM side of SQLAlchemy is what most of our users focus on, SA has always intended to provide a broader set of tools than just that; referring to it as an “ORM” is like referring to the internet as “the web”. Philosophically we aim to approach issues in a broad, “no-shortcuts” way [...]
