But, it'd be nice to have one attribute of the object fulfil both roles, and I don't know how to do that :-S Chris I think the 'Derived Attributes' example does what you want: http://www.sqlalchemy.org/docs/examples.html#module-derived_attributes http://www.sqlalchemy.org/trac/browser/examples/derived_attributes/attri butes.py As far as I can tell, it uses some Python descriptor magic to allow your property to work both at the instance and at the class level (so 'self' will either be the instance or the class). Accessing Klass.is_visible returns the SQL expression construct, but instance.is_visible works as normal. You'd be more restricted in what you can write inside your property definition though. For example, you can't use plain Python 'and', or assume that 'self.enabled' evaluates to True or False. I think something like this would work though: @hybrid def is_visible(self): return (self.enabled == True) (self.is_deleted == False) Hope that helps, Simon -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups sqlalchemy group.

I wonder if a decorator could be knocked up which would let you do: def _python_is_visible(self): return (self.enabled and not self.is_deleted) def _sql_is_visible(self): return (self.enabled == True) (self.is_deleted == False) is_visible = some_magic(_python_is_visible,_sql_is_visible) cheers, Chris -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups sqlalchemy group.
