Dear SQLAlchemy users, I have a mapped object called "Species" with a lot of relation() in it. The user wants to have a "duplicate" function, so for a given "Species" a new exact copy should be created, with all the relation().
I have pasted a copy of my code here : http://pastebin.com/f3e50a4fa As you can see at lines 53-55 of my paste, I just iterate on those relations and I use a setattr() on the new object. It works perfectly, except for the "regions" relation (line 16), where SQLAlchemy does UPDATE statements: it replaces the "SpeciesRegion.species_id" of the source Species with the new duplicated Species.id, so the source Species has no more "regions" (SpeciesRegion). It seems logical to me because SpeciesRegion is an association object, but I wondered if there is a better way to do it than 1) iterate of SpeciesRegion objects of the source Species, 2) create a new SpeciesRegion, 3) Adapting SpeciesRegion.region 4) add the new SpeciesRegion to the new Species.regions ?
