MS Access integration with DJango through conversion to (Postgres or MySQL) xor direct interaction

Good afternoon, Is there an ORM library for python/django which integrates with MS Access? - I know SQLalchemy dropped support after 0.4, but maybe there's another to use? Alternatively how would I convert one to PostgreSQL or MySQL then interpret it into ORM syntax for use in i.e. SQLalchemy?

Re: A view associated with a lot of urls

Django's regular-expression based URL dispatcher is designed to do this directly; and you might want to use a model (database table) for each of your lookups. The third part of the tutorial [1] addresses this. [1] https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/intro/tutorial03/ On Nov 29, 3:30 am,

Marc, There is a couple of ways to do this on top of the Django ORM. You probably want to use a many-to-many relationship with an extra index field. https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/db/models/#extra-fields-on-many-to-many-relationships class SingularWorkFlow(models.Model):

I use all solutions, depending on the needs. When I'm testing a usage of many objects I use fixtures (also with users as I'm "pretending" that users created them) When there is a test involving a user I create this object, either in test or the setUp. On 11/28/11 01:58, Gelonida N wrote:

Hello, I've got a view associated with a lot of urls which have 2 variables ( like /computer/keyboard, /animal/dog and so on ). I thought of doing a regex like [a-z]/a-z]/$ and make 2 lists or dicts at the beginning of the view and check if the 2 variables are in these dicts or respond with a
