Does anyone have any good suggestions for dumping the data out of my model into a pythonic format?
I want to be able to back-up the data before dropping and creating tables, and I want to be able to move the data between different backends (eg use SQLite for development, then use MySQL for production). I can't quite get my head round the best way to do this, but I kind of assumed I would use nested dictionaries, with the class names as the main key, and a dictionary as the value, with the id for each field as the key and the value is another dictionary of field names and values. (Or maybe I should just use a list of dictionaries?). I need to bear in mind here that when I put the data back in (with a simple script) some of the class names or field names might have changed, so I will need another nested dictionary (?) of changes that will override the other dictionary. As part of this, how can I iterate over each of the classes in my model? Do I need to keep a list of classes in my model for me to iterate over? Any suggestions, ideas, hints, criticisms, gratefully accepted.
