Hi Tomasz,
Thanks, but I think that your suggestion gives me the attributes
within the class, and this is not what I need. The problem is that if
I have a None value where there could also be an Integer (nullable FK
for instance), then take the type from a mapper prop I am going to end
up with None type when what I really want is an Integer type. I think
the only way to be sure of the type is to pull it directly from the
table column definitions and not look at teh values within the
class.
Below, I have code to do that. It's not pretty but it passes through
the inheritance chain and places all the table columns into the cols
{}. I do end up touching the PK, which is a no-no and I am pretty
sure there are some edge cases that I am missing.
Still, I have a problem when I try to cast the value. How to I
convert a SA type to a Python type so that I can cast it to my Python
class attributes?
field_type = cols[k].type # This gives me SA types (Integer(),
Unicode(length=20), etc) NOT Python types
setattr(self, k, field_type(v)) # Won't work. field_type doesn't
cast to Python.
Getting there, but still messy.

# Need to check types within the database and make v the correct
value.
def saveAttrs(self, kw):
print '================= in [saveAttrs] with kw =' + str(kw) +
'===================='
# Load current class's DB table, then check if you are at the
cols = {}
table = metadata.tables[self.__tablename__]
# Place self's table columns into cols.
for col in table.c:
cols[col.name] = col
# Now go through the inheritance tree and put base
class columns into cols. Only add to cols
# when you don't see a __tablename__, since this is
either DeclarativeBase or another
# inherited class w/o mapping
for base in self.__class__.__bases__:
if hasattr(base, '__tablename__'): # Got to be a better
way to do
that...
table = metadata.tables[base.__tablename__]
for col in table.c:
cols[col.name] = col
# Check my work. Make sure all kw values go into the
right place
for k,v in kw.iteritems():
print 'Running with key = ' + k
if hasattr(self, k):
if k in cols:
field_type = cols[k].type
print 'Key = ' + str(k) + ', Val= ' +
str(v) + ' ColType = ' + str
(field_type)
# DIES HERE. Can't just cast a SQ type
============> setattr(self, k, field_type(v))
