It would be better (IMHO) to change the SQLObject methods so they don't use common words, perhaps by prepending 'SQLObject__' or something. Better than that change SQLObject somehow so it doesn't get confused between database columns and internal methods. I understand that both of these options would probably be major undertakings, but if the alternative is saying people can't have columns called 'expire' (or who knows what other names lurking in the murky depths of the SQLObject source :) then I'm all for it. In my case, a particular piece of software (MyDNS) requires that the database layout be exactly what it expects, so changing the database to suit SQLObject isn't an option. Call it a bug in MyDNS if you like, but highly I doubt I'm the only one in this situation. > > rather than calling the expire method to expire > > the object from cache it actually returns the value from the 'expire' > > column, which being a Long of course isn't callable, hence the > > exception above. > > that is one feature of python going wrong ...
