[SQLObject] inspecting Col definition

[Max I. <isc...@gm...>]

Hello,

How can I programmatically inspect SQLObject classes?

E.g. given the following definition:

class Foo(SQLObject):
    pubid =3D StringCol(length=3D8,varchar=3DFalse,
            title=3D"publicly visible identifier",
            alternateID=3DTrue,unique=3DTrue,notNone=3DTrue)

How can retrieve column's length?

What I actually want is to have 'browser-friendly' identifiers like =
'dse33gse' that can be exposed to the public. Currently I'm going to =
write makepubid() function that would be given class object and which =
would return new unused identifier. If you know of better/cleaner way to =
do it your advice is welcomed.
