15:54 tim|imac is wondering about the status of django-sqlalchemy, since it's hard to really find something about it on the 'net
15:54 tim|imac
anyone here to enlighten me?
16:20 empty
tim|imac: still working on it
16:20 empty
not production ready
16:20 tim|imac
ah ok, too bad
16:20 tim|imac
still a lot of work, or nearing something usable?
16:21 empty
it's pretty close actually
16:21 empty
there's multiple inheritance stuff
16:22 empty
to do
16:22 empty
and generic foreign keys
16:22 empty
those are the two biggies
16:22 empty
the repo is at gitorious
16:22 empty
I suppose I should do a status update post
16:22 tim|imac
would be appreciated :)
16:23 tim|imac is looking forward to it
16:23 empty
yah
16:23 tim|imac
currently, it's quite hard to create apps that make use of a django frontend but something totally different in the backend
16:23 tim|imac is hoping sqlalchemy to help a lot
16:23 tim|imac
*will help a lot

02:27 mwesterb
empty: I really want to use sqlalchemy in my django projects, is there an example of someone using django-sqlalchemy?
02:27 empty
not that i know of
02:27 empty
i mean i know of people using it
02:27 empty
but i don't know of any writeups
02:27 mwesterb
empty: should i just review the tests for learning how to use it?
02:28 mwesterb
empty: they seemed a bit verbose, but the closest thing i have seen so far
02:28 empty
well you can use it out of the box like django that's the goal. You only need to handle the settings stuff.
02:28 empty
in the tests directory there is a settings.py
02:28 empty
and you'll see how that's setup
02:28 mwesterb
ah, does the admin work alright?
02:29 empty
i would guess no
02:29 empty
haven't actually tried it yet
02:29 mwesterb
ah
02:29 empty
because we're missing some stuff related to generic relations
02:29 mwesterb
oh right, contenttypes?
02:29 empty
yeah
02:30 empty
but then some guy told me the other day he was using it with multiple inheritance
02:30 empty
so who knows
02:30 empty
i've been focussed on the stuff i know doesn't work
02:30 empty
but since pycon i've had almost zero time for the project
02:30 empty
work has been insane
02:31 mwesterb
yeah same here, but then i got laid off, so i am doing django freelance work, which is quite nice
02:31 mwesterb
i would like to contribute to the project
02:31 empty
that would be most welcome. :)
02:31 mwesterb
it's been bothering me a long time, it's driven me to look at turbogears and pylons
02:31 empty
yep i know what you mean
02:31 mwesterb
reckon i should learn how to use it first :)
02:31 empty
i've been looking at pylons lately because i have a mssql project
02:32 empty
and it's actually quite nice. But for me the biggest thing is using sqlalchemy
02:32 empty
that makes a big diff.
02:32 mwesterb
ah right, i like switching the template language to things like mako, but that is pretty simple with django
02:32 mwesterb
yeah no kidding it's just so awesome
02:32 mwesterb
seems insane not to use
02:32 empty
yeah it is very nice
02:33 mwesterb
django's works for me easily 90% of the time, but i would just rather something that exceeds my database abilities
02:33 mwesterb
use something
02:33 mwesterb
is there maybe an area i should look at for contributing?
02:34 empty
hmm
02:34 empty
the easier parts is the management commands
02:35 mwesterb
ah alright i will take a look at that
02:35 mwesterb
extra commands, or just making syncdb and stuff working
02:35 empty
great. let me know if you have any questions. I know it's not the easiest code to work with.
02:35 mwesterb
although it seems like you guys got that based on what i have seen on the site
02:35 empty
making stuff work. Yeah we have syncdb
02:35 mwesterb
i will, thank you very much for doing this
02:35 empty
but there's several we don't have
02:36 mwesterb
it's seriously is keeping me in django, i would totally jump if it wasn't for this project
02:36 empty
yeah i've heard that from several people I just wish I could get it done
02:36 mwesterb
yeah it's ambitious
02:36 empty
it's just not easy and very time consuming
02:37 mwesterb
i see adrian had a post from 2006 about a branch of django that would use sqlalchemy
02:37 empty
yeah :)
02:37 mwesterb
didn't really find out whatever happened to that
02:37 empty
that's a funny thread
02:37 mwesterb
lol yeah
02:37 empty
because there was all the momentum.
02:37 empty
then not a single commit
02:37 mwesterb
ah, man that's too bad
02:38 empty
yah
02:39 mwesterb
you wouldn't happen to know which commands need work?
02:39 mwesterb
probably find that in the tests i suppose
03:10 empty
No i don't know mwesterb off hand but I can look tomorrow and let you know
03:12 mwesterb
empty: i would appreciate that, thank you
