[SQLObject] some xml goodies

[David M. <da...@re...>]

Hi all,

While working on a web app framework, I've tackled with the problem of
how to allow 3rd party extensions to be installed, where such extensions
may change the database structure.

What I've come up with is a way of wrapping database definitinos in xml
files, and generating python code from these xml files.

Also - there's the ability to 'mix in' additional xml files, containing
updates to database schema - this will both update the already imported
database table classes, and write out new python code, as well as the
updated master xml file.

I'm not intending to support this, but am sharing it in case others may
be interested and be in a situation where this approach might be useful.

Tarball contains the python modules, as well as demo files for study.
