Re: [Sqlalchemy-users] AutoConnectEngine

[Jeff Watkins]

The principal use for AutoConnectEngine is to support the TurboGears PackageEngine which looks in a config file (which is loaded at server startup time) to determine the dburi. I honestly wasn't aware that create_engine worked that way, so really AutoConnectEngine could be called JustInTimeConnectEngine or something.
