I don't know if my terminology is correct etc. But the basic idea is the following.
In my model I have something like from mylib.helpers import slugify class MyModel(Base): __tablename__ = "testing" id = Column(Integer, primary_key) title = Column(Unicode) description = Column(Unicode) @property def slug(self): return slugify(self.title) Now I want to be able to do something like. session.query(MyModel.id, MyModel.title, MyModel.slug).all() The table obviously doesn't have a slug column, I just want to return my title as a "pseudo-column" named slug, with it passed through my slugify method first. I tried to do something like the following: @synonym_for("title") @property def slug(self): return slugify(self.title) And this did not work. It seems to just return another column just like title (not sent through slugify first). Any idea how I can do what I am looking for? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sqlalchemy" group.
