Going chemical: SQLAlchemy and MySQL Connector/Python!

Last week I took SQLAlchemy v0.6 out of its trunk and tested it again with our MySQL Connector/Python. And surprise! SQLAlchemy comes with a ‘dialect’ supporting it! Nice!

However, we’re still a long way on making it work. I found some additional problems which need to be fixed first.

$ nosetests --dburi=mysql+mysqlconnector://root:@localhost/sqlalchemy \
    test/dialect/test_mysql.py..

Ran 32 tests in 4.507sFAILED (errors=6, failures=1)

Oh, there were more errors and failures and all that due to bugs in MySQL Connector/Python. There were already some modification to the dialect (e.g. name change), and there might be some more.

If we got this sorted, Turbogears should work too!
