I am just experimenting with sqlalchemy, but I am pretty sure to start
using it soon, I wondered about this too, to me it was confusing to look
at code and not easily able to see where things come from.
Having seen the wxPython project move to use the namespace as of 2.6
(with I think two transition releases), I have done all the tests so far
doing the following type of import and corresponding code. This has not
caused any problems so far and to while a little bit more typing makes
the code more readable, especially for newbies.
But I wonder why this is not done by everyone, i.e. what are the reasons
not to do it this way?
import sqlalchemy as sa
import sqlalchemy.orm as sao
metadata = sa.MetaData()
cbbottle_table = sa.Table( u'cbbottle', metadata,
sa.Column( u'cbbottleid', sa.Integer(),
sa.Sequence('gen_cbbottle_cbbottleid'),
primary_key= True, nullable= False),
sa.Column( u'maturityfirst', sa.Integer()),
sa.Column( u'maturitybest', sa.Integer()),
sa.Column( u'maturitypast', sa.Integer()),
...
sa.Column( u'fk_cbvintageid', sa.Integer(),
sa.ForeignKey(u'cbvintage.cbvintageid')),
)
