SQLAHeler is a small library for SQLAlchemy web applications. It acts as a container for the application’s contextual session, engines, and declarative base. This avoids circular dependencies between the application’s model modules, and allows cooperating third-party libraries to use the application’s session, base, and transaction. SQLAHelper does not try to hide or disguise the underlying SQLAlchemy objects; it merely provides a way to organize them.
The contextual session is initialized with the popular ZopeTransactionExtension, which allows it to work with transaction managers like pyramid_tm and repoze.tm2. A transaction manager provides automatic commit at the end of request processing, or rollback if an exception is raised or HTTP error status occurs. Some transaction managers can commit both SQL and non-SQL actions in one step. SQLAHelper does not include a transaction manager, but it works with the most common ones.
It’s currently tested on Python 2.7/Linux but should work on other platforms. A set of unit tests is included. Python 3 compatibility is unknown but will be addressed soon.
