hi This is to facilitate (or fuel) the discussion about query() methods doing autoclone vs returning self + having explicit .copy/.clone() by user.
before (v2388) i did have: q = SelectResults().... q.options( eagerload(whatever)) return list(q) now (v2389 onwards) .options() does internaly a self.clone() of the query, and original query stays untouched (i.e. it is like self.copy.options()). So above stops working. And i must do: q = query()... q = q.options( eagerload(whatever)) return list(q) Nothing wrong with it, it just makes life harder - there should be additional code checking for SA versions (or the return None of .options()). i know this change is old, and the above SelectResults has been made to match Query() (cloning) behaviour, and whole SelectResults is abandoned, etc, but in this case the "explicit is better than implicit" would help to avoid such mess - if u wanna clone, please say it... ciao svilen --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sqlalchemy" group.
