I want to use it like this
fixRace(dbPeople, myrace)
listofgreeks=session.query(dbPeople.inRace).select_by(Nationality="Greece")
listofresident=session.query(dbPeople.inRace).select_by(Country="Germany")
So I need to have the "inRace" mapper an attribute of the class itself.
I'll stick to what I have right now, it seems to work fine.
Cheers,
François
