Hi Michael
I made a simplified but I think for the ORM equivalent example which I attach.
In ExamplesTest.py I commented:
# essential: ORM canot cope if this comes after s._mother = m
It seems if that condition is not met then there is indefinite
recursion. Whether that could/should be avoided by the ORM I do not
know.
I just noticed a mistake. Need to add to ExamplesOrm.py:
mapper(OldSon, inherits=son_mapper, polymorphic_identity='oldson')
This did not change the test results.
Thanks for your time
Ernst
