I've recently started pylons, and I've put together some practice
code. However, I'm unclear on how pylons models should be constructed
and I'm unsure if I've correctly used sqlalchemy. My practice code has
2 relevant files, books_meta.py (model) and books.py (controller),
which you'll find below. Based on my code, can anyone answer:

1. Have I setup the model correctly? I prefer to pre-build all my sql
tables, therefore would/could I only need those five lines of code
from 'books_meta.py' for all model usage?
2. Is the controller using the model correctly?
3. Does the sqlalchemy syntax and usage make sense?

# books_meta.py file
from sqlalchemy import schema, engine

pg_db = engine.create_engine("postgres://
user:[email protected]:
5432/sample")
meta = schema.MetaData()
meta.bind = pg_db

#books.py file
from library.model import books_meta
from sqlalchemy import schema

def index(self):
        books_tbl = schema.Table("books", books_meta.meta,
autoload=True)
        publishers_tbl = schema.Table("publishers", books_meta.meta,
autoload=True)
        c.books = books_tbl.select().execute()
        c.publishers = publishers_tbl.select().execute()
        return render("/library.html")

Thanks.
