I also think something like SAContext would make a good optional feature for SQLAlchemy, but I'd rather see it proven in Pylons first. There's also a get_engine_args() function which Michael didn't say much about but it's going to be a large percentage of the code. It's not just a matter of "sqlalchemy.dburi". There's also "sqlalchemy.pool_recycle" which is critical for MySQL, as well as the other engine options (or at least the scalar ones). It will also scale to multiple engines along the lines of "sqlalchemy.engine_key.dburi". This code is very Pylons specific, or at least it is until other frameworks/applications start using the same config file format. -- Mike Orr <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
