I'm not going to make any claims to being a python expert, nor is this a trivial question.
What I want to do is have the ability to have an abstract interface for table contruction -- think UI where you can say "add field ... type String". Once you've specified the database table format from the UI, would like to take advatange of the non-tightly structured database underlying App Engine. What I would like to have is a class like: GenericTable(db.Model) .... def __init__(self, tbl) : ... def __getattr__(self, name) : ....for purposes of example... So in my view code I can say: tbl = GenericTable("books") items = tbl.all() for item in items : ...something interesting... ...with the ability to say item['price'] -- via the above __getattr__ Hopefully this gives you a good idea of intent, where things are getting muddled up is I'm not sure if it's better to extend db.Model / db.PropertiedClass or build something totally new from the ground up... Anybody tried this before, or maybe has some good pointers on what is a "better" course of action? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
