SQLObject 3.13.1
by Oleg Broytman Dec. 8, 2025

Dec. 8, 2025

Hello! I'm pleased to announce version 3.13.1, the first bugfix release of the branch 3.13 of SQLObject. What's new in SQLObject ======================= The contributors for this release are: * Igor Yudytskiy. Thanks for PR #194: fix: connect to old mssql versions via set tds_version uri parameter. * Dave Mulligan fixed #195: Minor ``NameError`` in ``pgconnection.py`` when using ``psycopg`` version 1 with a non-default port. Thanks! * Chris Kauffman found a minor bug in ``UuidValidator``. * GH user ghaushe-ampere. Thanks for finding an obscure bug! Bug fixes --------- * ``UuidValidator.from_python()`` now accepts strings as a valid input. This fixes #199. * Fixed #197: a bug in ``dbconnection.ConnectionURIOpener.registerConnection`` triggered by non-empty instance's ``name``. The bug was inserted in 2004 so it seems nobody ever used named instances. Fixed anyway. * Fixed #195: Minor ``NameError`` in ``pgconnection.py`` when using ``psycopg`` version 1 with a non-default port. Tests ----- * Tested with Python 3.14. * Run tests with source-only (non-binary) ``psycopg`` and ``psycopg2``. For a more complete list, please see the news: http://sqlobject.org/News.html What is SQLObject ================= SQLObject is a free and open-source (LGPL) Python object-relational mapper. Your database tables are described as classes, and rows are instances of those classes. SQLObject is meant to be easy to use and quick to get started with. SQLObject supports a number of backends: MySQL/MariaDB (with a number of DB API drivers: ``MySQLdb``, ``mysqlclient``, ``mysql-connector``, ``PyMySQL``, ``mariadb``), PostgreSQL (``psycopg``, ``psycopg2``, ``PyGreSQL``, partially ``pg8000``), SQLite (builtin ``sqlite3``); connections to other backends - Firebird, Sybase, MSSQL and MaxDB (also known as SAPDB) - are less debugged). Python 2.7 or 3.4+ is required. Where is SQLObject ================== Site: http://sqlobject.org Download: https://pypi.org/project/SQLObject/3.13.1 News and changes: http://sqlobject.org/News.html StackOverflow: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/sqlobject Mailing lists: https://sourceforge.net/p/sqlobject/mailman/ Development: http://sqlobject.org/devel/ Developer Guide: http://sqlobject.org/DeveloperGuide.html Example ======= Install:: $ pip install sqlobject Create a simple class that wraps a table:: >>> from sqlobject import * >>> >>> sqlhub.processConnection = connectionForURI('sqlite:/:memory:') >>> >>> class Person(SQLObject): ... fname = StringCol() ... mi = StringCol(length=1, default=None) ... lname = StringCol() ... >>> Person.createTable() Use the object:: >>> p = Person(fname="John", lname="Doe") >>> p <Person 1 fname='John' mi=None lname='Doe'> >>> p.fname 'John' >>> p.mi = 'Q' >>> p2 = Person.get(1) >>> p2 <Person 1 fname='John' mi='Q' lname='Doe'> >>> p is p2 True Queries:: >>> p3 = Person.selectBy(lname="Doe")[0] >>> p3 <Person 1 fname='John' mi='Q' lname='Doe'> >>> pc = Person.select(Person.q.lname=="Doe").count() >>> pc 1 Oleg. -- Oleg Broytman https://phdru.name/ phd(a)phdru.name Programmers don't die, they just GOSUB without RETURN.

Nov. 16, 2025

A new SCons release, 4.10.1, is now available on the SCons download page: https://scons.org/pages/download.html Here is a summary of the changes since PREVIOUS_RELEASE: NEW FUNCTIONALITY ----------------- - Add support for Visual Studio 2026. CHANGED/ENHANCED EXISTING FUNCTIONALITY --------------------------------------- - Switch test framework from using profile to cProfile. profile generates deprecation warnings starting with Python 3.15. FIXES ----- - Enable membership tests on instances of Literal (non-substituting string). - In the SequenceTypes tuple used for dynamic type checks, include the dict contents views, exclude the dictionary view itself as it is not an iterable sequence type. IMPROVEMENTS ------------ - Internal: where the find method on a string was used to determine if a substring is present, use the more readable "in" and "not in". DOCUMENTATION ------------- - Improve documentation of builder methods and builder objects. - Make links clickable in the SetOption and GetOption manpage entries. Thanks to the following contributors listed below for their contributions to this release. ========================================================================================== .. code-block:: text git shortlog --no-merges -ns 4.10.0..HEAD 12 Mats Wichmann 4 William Deegan 1 Thaddeus Crews
