I've been learning SQLAlchemy and wanted to model of "Users" where they can add "friends" and any additions populate across all users. I pulled my hair out yesterday because I could get it to work in one direction, but not bi-directionally. This seems like such a simple thing (it's easily done in the Django ORM).
The use would be something like this: jobs = Person(name='Steve Jobs') woz = Person(name='Steve Wozniak') ive = Person(name='Johnny Ive') jobs.friends = [woz, ive] >>> jobs Out[1]: <Person (Steve Jobs)> >>> jobs.friends Out[2]: [<Person (Steve Wozniak)>, <Person (Johnny Ive)>] >>> woz.friends Out[3]: [<Person (Steve Jobs)>] I found Mike's answer to this problem: - http://www.mail-archive.com/sqlalchemy%40googlegroups.com/msg26262.html - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9116924/how-can-i-achieve-a-self-referencing-many-to-many-relationship-on-the-sqlalchemy These posts are from 2012. Has there been any development on these kinds of relationships or are Mike's answers still the best known solutions?
