Hi Newbie here. I think I have a fundamental misunderstanding of either how session works or you inspect works. My goal is to track changes to my object. I wrote up this sample to show what I'm having trouble understanding.
from sqlalchemy import create_engine, inspect from sqlalchemy import Column, BigInteger, String, Date, Integer from sqlalchemy.ext.declarative import declarative_base from sqlalchemy.orm import sessionmaker from dateutil.relativedelta import * Base = declarative_base() class SaTest(Base): __tablename__ = 'sa_test' id = Column(BigInteger, primary_key=True) name = Column(String(50)) dob = Column(Date) number_of_children = Column(Integer) def __repr__(self): return self.name engine = create_engine('mysql://mysqluser:mysqlpassword@servername/databasename') Base.metadata.bind = engine DBSession = sessionmaker(bind=engine) session = DBSession() """ # run this the first time to create the data jim = SaTest(name='Jim', dob=parse('1971-02-23'), number_of_children=3) session.add(jim) joe = SaTest(name='Joe', dob=parse('1968-06-09'), number_of_children=5) session.add(joe) session.commit() """ jim = session.query(SaTest).filter_by(id=1).one() jim.dob = jim.dob + relativedelta(days=+14) jim.number_of_children = jim.number_of_children + 1 #joe = session.query(SaTest).filter_by(id=2).first() <---- if I uncomment this line, inspect doesn't display the changes in history insp = inspect(jim) for attr, attr_state in insp.attrs.items(): if attr_state.history.has_changes(): print('{}: {}'.format(attr, attr_state.value)) print('History: {}\n'.format(attr_state.history)) I've built this based on the example at the bottom of page 107 in the O'Reilly Essential SQLAlchemy book. It seems to my that running the second query is somehow invalidating the inspection of the jim object. I'd really like to understand why, but haven't been able to find anything to help explain it to me. Any help would really be appreciated. -Jim -- 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.
