que permite decir que tengo una estructura de base de datos con tres mesas que se parecen a esto:¿Cómo asignar una clase a varias tablas con SQLAlchemy?

items 
- item_id 
- item_handle 

attributes 
- attribute_id 
- attribute_name 

item_attributes 
- item_attribute_id 
- item_id 
- attribute_id 
- attribute_value 

me gustaría ser capaz de hacer esto en SQLAlchemy:

item = Item('item1') 
item.foo = 'bar' 

session.add(item) 
session.commit() 

item1 = session.query(Item).filter_by(handle='item1').one() 
print item1.foo # => 'bar' 

Soy nuevo en SQLAlchemy y me encontré con esto en la documentación (http://www.sqlalchemy.org/docs/05/mappers.html#mapping-a-class-against-multiple-tables):

j = join(items, item_attributes, items.c.item_id == item_attributes.c.item_id). \ 
    join(attributes, item_attributes.c.attribute_id == attributes.c.attribute_id) 

mapper(Item, j, properties={ 
    'item_id': [items.c.item_id, item_attributes.c.item_id], 
    'attribute_id': [item_attributes.c.attribute_id, attributes.c.attribute_id], 
}) 

sólo añade item_id y attribute_id a punto y no es posible añadir atributos al objeto Item.

¿Es lo que intento lograr con SQLAlchemy? ¿Hay una mejor manera de estructurar la base de datos para obtener el mismo comportamiento de "columnas dinámicas"?

Esto se llama el patrón entity-attribute-value. Hay un ejemplo sobre esto en el directorio de ejemplos de SQLAlchemy: vertical/.

Si está utilizando PostgreSQL, también está el módulo contrib hstore que puede almacenar una cadena para la asignación de cadenas. Si está interesado, tengo un código para un tipo personalizado que permite usarlo para almacenar atributos extendidos a través de SQLAlchemy.

Otra opción para almacenar atributos personalizados es serializarlos en un campo de texto. En ese caso, perderá la capacidad de filtrar por atributos.

Encontré esta respuesta (exactamente lo que estaba buscando) pero el enlace estaba roto. Ver mi respuesta a continuación para uno de los archivos de ejemplo. –

Podrías haber arreglado el enlace. –

Tuve que clonar el repositorio para obtener el código. No puedo acceder al código a través de trac nunca más. –

El enlace a vertical/vertical.py está roto. El ejemplo se ha renombrado a dictlike-polymorphic.py y dictlike.py.

estoy pegando en los contenidos de dictlike.py:

"""Mapping a vertical table as a dictionary. 

This example illustrates accessing and modifying a "vertical" (or 
"properties", or pivoted) table via a dict-like interface. These are tables 
that store free-form object properties as rows instead of columns. For 
example, instead of:: 

    # A regular ("horizontal") table has columns for 'species' and 'size' 
    Table('animal', metadata, 
     Column('id', Integer, primary_key=True), 
     Column('species', Unicode), 
     Column('size', Unicode)) 

A vertical table models this as two tables: one table for the base or parent 
entity, and another related table holding key/value pairs:: 

    Table('animal', metadata, 
     Column('id', Integer, primary_key=True)) 

    # The properties table will have one row for a 'species' value, and 
    # another row for the 'size' value. 
    Table('properties', metadata 
     Column('animal_id', Integer, ForeignKey('animal.id'), 
       primary_key=True), 
     Column('key', UnicodeText), 
     Column('value', UnicodeText)) 

Because the key/value pairs in a vertical scheme are not fixed in advance, 
accessing them like a Python dict can be very convenient. The example below 
can be used with many common vertical schemas as-is or with minor adaptations. 

""" 

class VerticalProperty(object): 
    """A key/value pair. 

    This class models rows in the vertical table. 
    """ 

    def __init__(self, key, value): 
     self.key = key 
     self.value = value 

    def __repr__(self): 
     return '<%s %r=%r>' % (self.__class__.__name__, self.key, self.value) 


class VerticalPropertyDictMixin(object): 
    """Adds obj[key] access to a mapped class. 

    This is a mixin class. It can be inherited from directly, or included 
    with multiple inheritence. 

    Classes using this mixin must define two class properties:: 

    _property_type: 
     The mapped type of the vertical key/value pair instances. Will be 
     invoked with two positional arugments: key, value 

    _property_mapping: 
     A string, the name of the Python attribute holding a dict-based 
     relationship of _property_type instances. 

    Using the VerticalProperty class above as an example,:: 

     class MyObj(VerticalPropertyDictMixin): 
      _property_type = VerticalProperty 
      _property_mapping = 'props' 

     mapper(MyObj, sometable, properties={ 
     'props': relationship(VerticalProperty, 
          collection_class=attribute_mapped_collection('key'))}) 

    Dict-like access to MyObj is proxied through to the 'props' relationship:: 

     myobj['key'] = 'value' 
     # ...is shorthand for: 
     myobj.props['key'] = VerticalProperty('key', 'value') 

     myobj['key'] = 'updated value'] 
     # ...is shorthand for: 
     myobj.props['key'].value = 'updated value' 

     print myobj['key'] 
     # ...is shorthand for: 
     print myobj.props['key'].value
