actually that is like that right now the autogenerated Model classes have identical interfaces except some minor error's in the translation like http://trac.turbogears.org/ticket/1271 (by the way thanks for reminding me of that one I forgot to assign it to myself) At the moment with SO we use group.addUser(user).

I haven't use SA with identity so I do not know but if you want to unify both APIs (I though they where) I'll commit the patch right away the code is a bit messy because it's a cheetah template but it's not that hard to follow, the offending code is on this file http://trac.turbogears.org/browser/branches/1.0/turbogears/qstemplates/quickstart/%2Bpackage%2B/model.py_tmpl Iain > > > > > > > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
