Hello.

Just a really, really tiny and pedantic correction... The stack variable in the
code is in fact a queue. This could potentially surprise some users / readers.

To fix, please do one of the following:
* Rename stack local var to queue.
* Use stack.pop() to pop the last element from the stack.

there really should be some other name, because all the time, I have routines like this where even dynamically within the routine, the pop(0) is a pop() or vice-versa, because we'd like the iteration to work one way or another. Changing pop(0) to pop() here means we are doing depth-first instead of breadth-first. So. Some word that means "collection of things to operate upon"? I've seen "work" used. "buffer" ? eh.


HTH,

I'd like to implement _generic method_ walk(obj) which will recursively yield
dependent/related objects of obj (which is instance of A).

I know that there is introspection interface inspect(), however I'm don't
really understand how to use it properly in my use case.

Shall I do inspect(obj) or rather inspect(obj.__class__) and then somehow
apply inspection to obj?

Are there an examples and best practices?
right now you can kind of get this effect using cascade_iterator:
http://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/rel_1_0/orm/mapping_api.html?highlight=cascade_iterator#sqlalchemy.orm.mapper.Mapper.cascade_iterator

the limitation is that right now its based on relationship cascade settings,
as that's what it was intended for, so you'd probably want to use "save-update":

insp = inspect(my_object)
for obj in insp.mapper.cascade_iterator("save-update", insp):
    # ...

to implement your own system, the graph of objects is strictly based on
relationship.   so walk() is pretty simple:

def walk(obj):
     yield obj
     insp = inspect(obj)
     for relationship in insp.mapper.relationships:
         related = getattr(obj, relationship.key)
         if relationship.uselist:
             for collection_member in related:
                 for walk_related in walk(collection_member):
                     yield walk_related
         elif related is not None:
             for walk_related in walk(related):
                 yield walk_related
here's one im putting in the FAQ for now, which solves recursion depth as well
as cycles:

     def walk(obj):
         stack = [obj]

         seen = set()

         while stack:
             obj = stack.pop(0)
             if obj in seen:
                 continue
             else:
                 seen.add(obj)
                 yield obj
             insp = inspect(obj)
             for relationship in insp.mapper.relationships:
                 related = getattr(obj, relationship.key)
                 if relationship.uselist:
                     stack.extend(related)
                 elif related is not None:
                     stack.append(related)
