2023-06-07 Thread Tobiah via Python-list
I am looking into creating a database abstraction library using pydal and mysql as the engine. I noticed that I have to specify a 'folder' with the connection string to tell pydal where to save "table files". So I'll have hundreds of different databases and install this library on many machines.

I should mention that I wanted to answer your question, but I wouldn't actually do this. I'd rather opt for your self.config = config solution. The config options should have their own namespace. I don't mind at all referencing foo.config['option'], or you could make foo.config an object by its
