Tutorial?

[Wolfgang Keller]

Hello,

I would like to try out Qtalchemy, especially to check whether it
requires less hand-coding than e.g. Pypapi and/or offers more
versatility than Camelot. Unfortunately I couldn't find some tutorial
giving a step-by-step introduction from the SQLalchemy model to the
complete application...

Is there no such thing (yet?) or have I missed something?

TIA,

Sincerely,

Wolfgang

The reason I didn't personally use Camelot is because I suspected that
it was rather inflexible on it's view creation -- and that's likely fine
for 80% of the cases. QtAlchemy strives to allow you to use all the
flexibility of layout that comes with the Qt foundations and merely (?!)
gives you tools for data binding.

Unfortunately, the tutorial aspect of the document is rather lacking.
There is, however, some small examples and also larger examples. For
smaller examples, look in the Examples directory of the source
distribution -- e.g.
https://bitbucket.org/jbmohler/qtalchemy/src/0255eeddc363/Examples/Books
directory . For larger examples, I think that the pyhacc application
source is about the best https://bitbucket.org/jbmohler/pyhacc --
consider the PyHaccSchema.py and a simple screen in Accounts.py.
