Adding the class_mapper call seems to create other problems.
for db in allDataBases:
# setup the session, engine, and metadata
...
# create the tables if they don't exist
...
# grab a table out
someTable = metadata.tables['someTable']
# map it
mapper(MyObject, someTable)
# call the class mapper
class_mapper(MyObject) # has to be done after the mapper call or I
receive an Invalid Request "no mapper associated with it"
for attr in dir(myObjectInstance):
print(attr)
getattr(myObjectInstance, attr) # this now throws the following error
AttributeError: 'MyObject' object has no attribute '_state'
I don't see any _state printed out. The only additional attribute I
see is the 'c' variable, where pull tables from. What is causing this
_state thing to appear? Do I need to call class_mapper after each
mapper only only once after any mapper?
Thanks.
