Ponygen generates classes from an information_schema database and a given schema.
It does not support what Pony does not support.
Basically this is a hack, a helper for developers and by no means code to be exposed in production.
Untested, just the minimal set of what I need. One hour of work or so.
Published to help other people trying to do the same thing.
To automatically register an extension class to your PonyORM classes, use mymodule.ponygen.ExtraClassFactory.register("MyClassName", my.module.MyOtherClass)
Table prefixes are supported. They are cleaned up at class generation and can be specified at bind time.
python ponygen.py mysql://chloe:chloe@localhost/galette galette --engine=pymysql --outdir=./outdir/
will generate classes in outdir/
Then you have to write your __init__.py (an empty file does the job)
And then, do something like
from outdir.ponygen import init_mappings
from outdir.ponygen import init_mappings, ExtraClassFactory
class Fooza(object):
def blahbli(self):
return "lel"
ExtraClassFactory.register('Adherents', Fooza)
init_mappings(prefix='test_', engine='mysql', host='localhost', user='chloe', passwd='strongpass', db='galette')
from outdir.adherents import Adherents
b = [a for a in
Adherents.select()]
b[0]
>>> Adherents[1]
b[0].blahbli()
>>> 'lel'The main attention point is to run init_mappings after you have registered your extensions.
