Modeling
Object-Relational Bridge for python

What is the Modeling Framework?

The Modeling framework intends to fill the gap between the python object world and relational databases. It relies on a model, based on Entity-Relationship Modelling, that describes how the two worlds map to each other. From your design of such a model, the database's schema and corresponding python classes are automatically generated. Thus, once you have designed how your classes should be stored in the RDBMS, you can focus on the real challenges - the logic of your business objects - while remaining in the object-oriented world of those objects and never having to worry about the SQL and RDBMS persistence layer below.

You can have a look at some elements of history, which explains why, and how, I did this, and where my ''inspiration'' came from: the Enterprise Object Framework (TM) from Apple, now integrated to their WebObjects application server.
