hi web2py gurus, just out of curiousity, i'd like to create a class (let's say Product) that represents a record in my table "product". right now, i can't figure out how to have the class attributes (p = Product(); p.price) saved to the database without internally having p.__fields_dict__ containing ONLY table fields, and then map the p.price to p.__fields_dict__['price'], and finally doing something like p.db['product'].insert(p.__fields_dict__).
i'm just wondering if there's any better way to do this, sorry i'm pretty new to Python as well and probably am missing something. ideally, i'd like something that's more like: p = Product(id=1) or Product() p.random_var = 'abc' p.name = 'a' p.price = 100.0 p.save() # or db['product'].update_or_insert(p) thanks a lot! tom --
