You don't have to create an entry-point though.
What I've done is add the following code to my XXX/model/__init__.py:
def config_from_ini(ini_name):
"""
Returns a configuration object from a path to an INI file.
"""
# Store the config obj as a global, for later use.
global config
config = appconfig('config:%s' % os.path.join(
os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath
(__file__)))),
ini_name))
return config
def init_model_from_ini(ini_or_config):
"""
Initialize model from either an INI file path or a config object.
"""
if isinstance(ini_or_config, basestring):
config = config_from_ini(ini_or_config)
else:
config = ini_or_config
engine = create_engine(config['sqlalchemy.url'])
init_model(engine)
return engine
Then in my command-line scripts (crons, batch jobs etc.) I add the
following line:
engine = init_model_from_ini(ini_name)
where `ini_name` is taken from a command-line argument, but could be
hardwired (e.g. "XXX/deployment.ini").
I can also get the config object as `XXX.model.config`, which is
useful when I have my own config directives to retrieve.
Would it be useful that I contribute that code in a bug report?
Regards
Antoine.
