I just commited some fixes regarding how the dburi parameters are handled.
The first fix is for incorrect handling of calls like connectionForURI(dburi, cache=False) when dburi already contains some parameters encoded in the URI, like mysql://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/db?debug=1 The second fix is for incorrectly interpretted boolean values passed via arguments to connectionForURI or via dburi parameters. Because internally connectionForURI encodes all arguments using urllib.encode, they end up like strings. Same for dburi parameters which are extracted as strings. As a result any such value will end up in DBConnection as a string instead of a boolean, being misinterpretted whenever a false value is intended. For example connectionForURI(dburi, cache=False) will result in DBConnection receiving a cache='False' argument, which evaluates to True as a boolean value since the string 'False' is not empty. Similarly, dburi='mysql://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/db?debug=0' will end up as debug='0' in DBConnection, being interpretted again as True since it's a non-empty string. Before this fix, the only way to pass a False value to such an argument was to use an empty string, like '...?debug=', which is not intuitive, not to mention that interpreting '?debug=0' as debug=True is confusing. I committed these changes to trunk, 0.10 and 0.9 They are backward compatible, in the sense that if you ever used an empty string to indicate a False boolean value, it is still interpretted that way, but from now on you can use '?keyword=0' to indicate a keyword with a false value. As a bonus, the new implementation also accepts some string keywords and interprets them as boolean value: yes/no, true/false, on/off in addition to the standard 1/0. So one can write something like '?debug=yes&cache=off', which is more human readable. Any other non-empty string is still interpreted as true as before. -- Dan ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ sqlobject-discuss mailing list sqlobject-discuss@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/sqlobject-discuss
