In the beginning it would. The developer's learning curve is steep 'cause
I am trying not to accept quick'n'direty hacks. You have to learn SQLObject
test suite.
GUIDELINES TO PATCHING
The quality of patches is determined by the following conditions:
-- small, clear, non-invasive patches are the best ones; patches that
change public API in an incompatible way cannot be applied to the bugfix
branches;
-- do not break compatibility, remember, SQLObject is still supports Python
2.2; SQLObject works with a lot of database backends, with MySQL,
PostgreSQL and SQLite being the three major ones; for example, different
versions of MySQLdb (mysql-python DB API 2 driver) work differently in
relation to unicode, a patch should not make MySQLConnection more
unicode-aware because it breaks other connection classes - SQLObject
currently works only with non-unicode string queries;
-- the quality of code; never do "copy/paste programming" - do code reuse
as much as possible;
-- there must be at least a test; the more tests the better;
-- documentation is a big plus.
