Thanks again Hi Gery, At the moment, your javascript code (running in your web browser) is making an HTTP request to Apache. Apache is simply returning the contents of the requested file, so your javascript is receiving a string of Python code that it has no way of interpreting. I'm afraid this will never work. What you need is for Apache to *execute* the python script and return the contents to your browser. There are lots of ways of doing this, but you'll really need to at least have a basic understanding of web technologies. You will have to understand how OpenLayers requests data from the server, know how to extract query parameters from the request, turn those into a database query, format the results as JSON and return them back to the browser. I'm afraid all of those things are outside the scope of this list. Sorry I can't be more help, Simon -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups sqlalchemy group.

[sqlalchemy] Re: how to get into PG database, is the url the right way? newbie question
any ideas?? basically the idea is how to search inside a database being outside the database, especifically through SqlAlchemy from OpenLayers?

I work with PostGis (PG), OpenLayers (OL), ExtJS, GeoExtJS and now with the great SA and GeoAlchemy.

In my HTML, I have some maps displayed with OL and a toolbar built with ExtJS and GeoExtJS. I put a search button there using ExtJS, and the OL protocol code to get the data. This protocol has an url option, in this way: var searchformPanel = new Ext.form.FormPanel( { width: 250, bodyStyle: 'padding:5px', labelAlign: 'top', defaults: { anchor: '100%' }, protocol: new OpenLayers.Protocol.HTTP( { url: 'http://localhost/mop/py/dbmodel.py', format: new OpenLayers.Format.GeoJSON() } ), items: etc,etc.. my problem is that in this url I wrote the whole path where my model script is located, but after pressing the button I got nothing. I think I need something else rather than only pointing the whole path and the python script in the url mentioned above, is that correct? I've searched how to connect sqlalchemy to extjs in google but didn't find any that solved this doubt. Any support is very welcome, thanks in advance.

Best regards, Gery I'm probably missing something here, but are you running any kind of web framework? What happens when you visit http://localhost/mop/py/dbmodel.py in your web browser? You need something running on the server which accepts HTTP requests and responds with whatever data OpenLayers is expecting. There are plenty of web frameworks to choose from (http://wiki.python.org/moin/WebFrameworks/) - I happen to like Pyramid, but you may want to start with something smaller such as Flask.

RE: [sqlalchemy] Re: how to get into PG database, is the url the right way? newbie question
Many thanks Simon, very cool explanation, I'm grateful for your neat support. I'll look for that in google and OpenLayers, about to execute the python script and Apache, I think it has something to do with modwsgi but not sure. If you could point me to some useful links for any of the ways (perahps the easiest one) of doing this, I'd be really grateful, but you already helped me a lot, thanks man.
