I found the problem: it is with the instrumentation_finders stuff you helped us with months ago (see below). The problem can be reproduced with this:
class DummyMapperExtension(MapperExtension): pass mapper(ModelPresentValue, model_present_value, extension=DummyMapperExtension()) If the instrumentation hook is put in and you use a mapper extension (even a dummy one) then the session update code stops working. instrumentation + mapper_extension => fail instrumentation only => works mapper_extension only => works I tried debugging the instrumentation_find stuff before but didn't make much progress. I will open up a ticket on trac (if there isn't one there already) pjjH # Set docstrings of attributes to the empty string, in order to avoid # ugly-looking stuff that would otherwise appear as default. class AttachNotesAsDocstring(interfaces.InstrumentationManager): def instrument_attribute(self, class_, key, attr): if isinstance(attr.property, properties.ColumnProperty): if hasattr(attr.property.columns[0], 'info'): attr.__doc__ = attr.property.columns[0].info.get ('notes') else: attr.__doc__ = '' # We get a weird error from SQLAlchemy when we have customized # instrumentation and try to cog a file: # # AttributeError: 'ColumnProperty' object has no attribute 'strategy' # # As a workaround, we do not attempt to do any fancy instrumentation # if the cog module has been imported. if not 'cog' in sys.modules: sqlalchemy.orm.attributes.instrumentation_finders.append( lambda cls: AttachNotesAsDocstring) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sqlalchemy" group.
