Okay, I had a play with it and it's easy enough. It caught me out a
bit as I was expecting to be able to access it as:
p1 = Person(firstname="Ed", secondname="S", email="[EMAIL PROTECTED]")
p1.email.title # would return the title string of email
However it is an attribute of the column in sqlmeta.columns.
In which case I can't see any obvious way to iterate over the titles
in sqlmeta.columns and the fields of my Person object at the same time
(unless I use getattr I suppose, but I don't like using that unless I
have to).
Is there a way to access to fields of the Person object (p1 above) in
a dictionary style? So that I can do:
for column in Person.sqlmeta.columns.keys:
print column.title, ": ", p1.fieldsasdict[column]
(I've had a look through the FastData source but I can't work out how
FastData does it).
Thanks
Ed
