Just a little detail...
To get the class of a "regular" relationship, I use a class_mapper:
def getClassOfRelationship(cls, name):
retval = None
mapper = sqlalchemy.orm.class_mapper(cls)
try:
prop = mapper.get_property(name)
if isinstance(prop, sqlalchemy.orm.properties.SynonymProperty):
retval = getClassOfRelationship(cls, prop.name)
elif isinstance(prop,
sqlalchemy.orm.properties.RelationshipProperty):
retval = prop.mapper.class_
except ValueError:
retval = None
return retval
But the AssociationProxies don't (seem to) show in the mapper, correct?
I can always find a workaround, like "ok, if the attribute is not in
the class_mapper, then go to the class and check if it's an
AssociationProxy", but I was wondering if there's a better ("cleaner")
way. As AssociationProxies don't show in the class_mapper, I'll be
getting an exception when I try to get it from the mapper (here: prop
= mapper.get_property(name)) If I get an exception, I can go to the
class itself (cls parameter), check whether it's an AssociationProxy,
and then do what it is described in Michael's solution, but maybe
someone knows a cleaner way?
Thank you in advance!
Thanks in advance!
