I'm trying to incapsulate some functionality (some columns mainly) into 
base classes to inherit my models from them. The setup looks like this:

class EntityTemplate():
    @declared_attr
    def __tablename__(cls):
        return cls.__name__.lower()
    id = Column(Integer(), primary_key=True)
    timestamp = Column(DateTime())
class DocumentTemplate(EntityTemplate):
    date = Column(Date())
    number = Column(String(5))
Entity = declarative_base(cls=EntityTemplate, name='Entity')Document = 
declarative_base(cls=DocumentTemplate, name='Document')

I'm trying to use it like this:

class Customer(Entity):    
    name = Column(String(25))
    address = Column(String(50))
class Invoice(Document):
    customer_id = Column(Integer, ForeignKey('customer.id'))
    customer = relationship("Customer")
    total = Column(Numeric(10,2))
Entity.metadata.create_all(engine)Document.metadata.create_all(engine)

But on the last line I get this:

    sqlalchemy.exc.NoReferencedTableError: Foreign key associated with 
column'invoice.customer_id' could not find table 'customer' with which to 
generate
 a foreign key to target column 'id'

If I inherit Invoice from Entity instead of Document, everything is fine 
(except the fact that columns date and number are missing). Why? (I'm using 
SQLAlchemy-0.7.9-py3.2). Thanks!
