Python 3K, pg8000 Support in SQLAlchemy 0.6
June 02, 2009 permalink
As of this past weekend, 100% of tests pass on Python 3000 using the up-and-coming 0.6 series of SQLAlchemy, while running on sqlite via the sqlite3 adapter as well as Postgresql via the pg8000 DBAPI. Jython compatibility is largely present as well. The 0.6 series has a special focus on environment and dialect compatibility, as well as on schema construct and DDL improvements. Developers will have full access to new expression constructs such as CREATE TABLE and ADD CONSTRAINT, with the ability to define new ones. It is now possible to construct custom create/drop sequences which add constraints, triggers and other DDL using rules that are sensitive to the underlying database in use - and will allow smoother integration with sqlalchemy-migrate too. 0.6 should be merged to trunk soon with alpha releases by mid-summer.
