Which line is triggering that error?
Here's a working example:
import sqlalchemy as sa
import sqlalchemy.orm as saorm
from sqlalchemy.ext.automap import automap_base
Base = automap_base()
class Host(Base):
__tablename__ = 'hosts'
_mac_address = sa.Column('mac_address', sa.Integer)
@property
def mac_address(self):
return '%012x' % self._mac_address
@mac_address.setter
def mac_address(self, value):
self._mac_address = int(value, 16)
def main():
engine = sa.create_engine('sqlite://')
engine.execute("""
CREATE TABLE hosts(
id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
mac_address INTEGER
)
""")
Base.prepare(engine, reflect=True)
session = saorm.sessionmaker(bind=engine)()
host = Host(mac_address='001122334455')
session.add(host)
session.commit()
host = session.query(Host).one()
print host.mac_address
print host._mac_address
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
