Well,

(I am not a exactly a beginner in Python, just a bit rusty i
guess :-) )  I am working on a way to persist multiple inheritance and
polymorphism in a database, but I am a beginner with SQLalchemy.

Anyway I have a new problem for which i would like some help:

The following code gives an error:

class tablemeta(DeclarativeMeta):
    def __new__(cls, name):
        temp = dict()
        temp["__tablename__"] =  "_" + name
        temp["id"] = Column(Integer, primary_key = True)
        temp["text"] = Column(String(120))
        return DeclarativeMeta.__new__(cls, name, (Base,), temp)
    def __init__(cls, name):
        return DeclarativeMeta.__init__(cls, name, (Base,),{})


if __name__ == "__main__":
    engine = create_engine('sqlite:///tempDB.db', echo=True)
    Base.metadata.drop_all(engine)
    Base.metadata.create_all(engine)
    Session = sessionmaker(bind=engine)
    session = Session()
    table1 = tablemeta("table1")
    row1 = table1(text = "detextenzo")
    row2 = table1(text = "detextenzoennogeenbeetje")
    session.add(row1)
    session.add(row2)
    session.commit()
    list = session.query("table1").all()   #<== ERROR
    for l in list:
        print str(l)

 File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\sqlalchemy\engine\default.py",
line 299, in do_execute
    cursor.execute(statement, parameters)
sqlalchemy.exc.OperationalError: (OperationalError) no such table:
_table1 u'INSERT INTO _table1 (text) VALUES (?)' ('detextenzo',)

Seems an odd error, any ideas?
