HI,
I posted this to sqlalchemy but didnt get a response, so I was
wondering if anyone on python-list could help me.
I m currently trying to build an api for a database and I really like
the way that Djangos manager ( Class_name.objects ) is set up. This
seems very intuitive for me. After reading through the some of the
django source and getting slightly confused I ve implemented a basic
version for one of my tables. The problem is I get an exception, when
I m not expecting one.
registry.py --contains table definitions etc.
Manager.py
from Registry import *
class Manager(object):
def __init__(self, model, table=None):
self.model = model
self.table = table
def get(self, slice):
pass
def all(self):
print "1"
mapper(self.model, interpro_table)
print "2"
session = create_session()
print "3"
query = session.query(self.model)
print "4"
return query.select()
Models.py
from Manager import *
class ModelBase(type):
def __new__(cls, name, bases, dict):
print cls
setattr(cls, 'objects', Manager(cls))
return type.__new__(cls, name, bases, dict)
class Model(object):
__metaclass__=ModelBase
class InterPro(Model):
_tableName = interpro_table
def __init__(self, interpro_ac):
self.interpro_ac = interpro_ac
def __str__(self):
return "InterPro: %s" %(self.interpro_ac)
def __repr__(self):
return "InterPro: %s" %(self.interpro_ac)
if __name__=='__main__':
a = Manager(InterPro)
print a
print a.all() --this prints out all of the objects in the database
i = InterPro('IPR014697')
print InterPro.objects
print InterPro.objects.all()
--this fails and produces the exception.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "Model.py ", line 28, in ?

line 1234, in _create_instance
obj = self.class_.__new__(self.class_)
TypeError: __new__() takes exactly 4 arguments (1 given)
Does anyone know what the problem is? Is it the way I ve programmed
this using metaclasses or is it sqlalchemy and the way in instantiates
objects or even both?
Many Thanks in advance,
