Is there an easier way? I discovered this as a really hacky way of
just representing a record.
class Address(.....)
...
class Person(db.Model):
name = Column(String(255))
id_address = Column(ForeignKey('address.id'),
info=dict(represent=lambda id: Address.query.get(id).street))
And to get this....
me = Person.query.get(1)
for col in Person.__table__.c:
if col.info.has_key('represent'):
print col.info['represent'](getattr(me, col))
else:
print getattr(me, col)
