I'm pleased to announce the release of PyDO-2.0b1, the second beta release of the 2.0 series.
What's New ---------- * more tests and corresponding bug fixes. What it is ---------- PyDO is Drew Csillag's ORM (Object-Relational Mapper) database access library for Python that facilitates writing a Python database access layer. PyDO attempts to be simple, flexible, extensible, and unconstraining. PyDO 2 is a rewrite of the 1.x series distributed with SkunkWeb. It has several enhancements: * PyDO can now be used in multi-threaded or twisted-style asynchronous sitations, with or without a customizable connection pool. * PyDO objects are now dict subclasses, but also support attribute access to fields. * Projections -- subsets of the field list of a super-class -- are now supported by the PyDO.project() method. * Table attributes are now declared in a more concise way. * PyDO2 supports runtime table introspection. * Overall, the API has been tightened and the code restructured. PyDO 2 requires Python 2.4 or later. It currently supports PostgreSQL, MySQL, Sqlite, MSSQL, and Oracle, and support for other databases is planned. PyDO is dual GPL/BSD licensed.
