Hi (sorry if it's not the proper forum for this discussion, but I know there may interested people listening here :-)
I'd like that MapFish rely on GeoAlchemy, to share code and development. For this, we need that GeoAlchemy reads database geometry values as objects implementing the __geo_interface__. The easiest would be to make GeoAlchemy create Shapely geometry objects. But I don't think it'd be a good idea to make GeoAlchemy depend on Shapely, because Shapely isn't a pure-Python lib. So I've been thinking about adding the boolean option "shape" to GeoAlchemy's TypeEngine (GeometryBase). If this option is true GeoAlchemy will create a Shapely geometry object using shapely.wrk.loads() and will add as a property to the PersistentSpatialElement object. What do you think?
