[SQLObject] _fromDatabase + configurable database connections

[Jennings J. L C. 46 SK/C. <jar...@eg...>]

I have a configuration file where I specify what database to connect to
(i.e., the database connection can only be known at runtime), and class
definitions like this:

def _makeUserClass(connection):
    class User(SQLObject):
        _connection = connection
        _fromDatabase = True
        _cacheValues = False
        _table = 'users'
        groups = sqlobject.RelatedJoin('Group')
        # ...
    return User

I think this is terrible. I used to just paste in the class definition
everywhere I needed it, in methods and such; that was worse. At least this
way there's one text that defines it. 

I think there's something simple I must be missing. How can I avoid all
this?
