because we are going for more explicitness and less magic. when you start having methods that accept five different things, then people get confused which methods to use for what, it gets harder to check for correct arguments, etc.
also, select_from() and from_statement() are not really filters. particularly from_statment(), which currently has no interaction with filter() ( i know you want a feature where you do, and we may add that eventually though its a little involved. id like it too since i hate non_primary mappers). --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sqlalchemy" group.
