That's not SQLObject doing that, that's Python. When you do .some_foreign_key, a getter that SQLObject put on your class is retrieving the object on the other side. ".field_in_other_table" is just a standard attribute lookup at that point. All of that interpretation is being done by Python. You're not passing SQLObject any string to interpret here. So, if you pass in a string, we either need to a) recreate what Python does there, or b) have Python do it via eval() If you're just talking about getting a specific attribute from a single object, we can just do getattr(). But, once you start using "."s, you're actually into a full-blown expression.
