I don't know anything about sql-alchemy, from what you write my first idea too was to subclass StringVar and add a datatype attribute to the new SqlVariable class and let get() and set() handle the conversions according to self.datatype. If you have only the five mentioned datatypes I think this shouldn't be too hard and might prove quite handy then. For the date and time datatypes maybe you could borrow some code from the Pmw.EntryField validation mechanisms. Regards Michael .-.. .. ...- . .-.. --- -. --. .- -. -.. .--. .-. --- ... .--. . .-.
