the column can be named object in the database, that's just a string name. Python side, you can name a field "object", Python doesn't complain: >>> class Foo(object): ... def __init__(self, object): ... self.object = object ... >>> f1 = Foo(object='hi') >>> print f1.object hi if you wanted to be perfect you'd name it "object_" or something else totally but it isn't essential. > > Ken > > -- > SQLAlchemy - > The Python SQL Toolkit and Object Relational Mapper > > http://www.sqlalchemy.org/ > > To post example code, please provide an MCVE: Minimal, Complete, and > Verifiable Example.
