King Simon-NFHD78 wrote: @hybrid def is_visible(self): return (self.enabled == True) & (self.is_deleted == False) Yeah, having to write something that works as both plain python and a sql layer construct seems a little brittle. 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.

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.

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 -- Simplistix - Content Management, Batch Processing & Python Consulting - http://www.simplistix.co.uk -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sqlalchemy" group.
