Thanks for your response. Do you consider using `backref` only on one of the class bad practice?
I'm curious because automatically creating descriptors seems possible to me, and I'm wondering when it happens. As documentation states so: Remember, when the backref keyword is used on a single relationship, it’s exactly the same as if the above two relationships were created individually using back_populates on each. ref: http://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/latest/orm/backref.html There is also a half-a-year-old stackoverflow question about it: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/32617371/how-to-force-creation-of-backref-instrumentedattributes-using-sqlalchemy -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sqlalchemy" group.
