clue_sqlaloader provides a mechanism for populating a sql database using SQLAlchemy and YAML.
clue_sqlaloader was primarily meant to run from inside other applications as a framework piece but can be run from the command-line as follows:
$ python -m clue_sqlaloader.__init__ sqlite:///somefile.db data.yaml
The typical way to use the loader from within Python is as follows:
from clue_sqlaloader import Loader
loader = Loader(sqlalchemy_session)
loader.load_from_yamlf('somefile.yaml')
The format of the YAML should be similar to the following:
- model: mymodule.Group
refname: !!refname "admingroup"
fields:
name: admin
- model: mymodule.User
fields:
username: testuser1
email: user@hisplace.com
groups: [!!ref "admingroup"]
execute:
set_password: testuser1
The model and fields arguments are straightforward. The execute argument will call the given function name on the newly created object with the given value.
