IMO u can have some configuration arg like autodescendjoin =False by default (or True to have it compatible with old code/lazy programmers) -- IF u want to somehow keep that unreliable traversal-guess at all. Another herotic idea: look around the overriding userclass' __init__ method and why that is needed. This seems to me to be somehow connected to assignmapper, it's again about autoguessing mappers/sessions. IMO these notions (mapping, session-attaching, etc similar attaching of user-klas/obj to some DB/ORM-related thing) can be separated and have a possibility to make any combination of those, not just one hardcoded. e.g. the same way u can have now assignmapper vs not have one, u should have auto-mapper-compilation vs non-auto. and more IMO, i think all these auto-guessing things in SA (and u have many,many of them, and u like them) are _okay_ as far as there is a way to disable them and require/specify all explicitly. Whether the default would be the (easy) autoguess or not, is irrelevant here. did u get my point? ciao svil --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sqlalchemy" group.
