Is this project still alive?

not really. I'm the author and I still use it and make all necessary
changes to keep it working with new SQLAlchemy releases, but don't
expect much more.

Don't base a project on this, but it you just want a tool to inspect
databases this is in my (biased...) opinion still a winner in many
circumstances.

gbtami, in case you are searching for mask/table widgets for gtk, you
may want to steal some code from
http://www.pietrobattiston.it/gitweb?p=quack.git/.git;a=blob;f=quack_li
b/widgets.py (you should be able to just use files "widgets.py" and
"basic_widgets.py" with ORM classes inherited from "QuackItem" in
"quack_db/quack_item.py"). Compared to sqlkit, this is really
_extremely_ limited in scope, but it runs with Python3 and Gtk+ 3, and
can be more easily embedded in other Gtk+ widgets. Although I don't
plan to extend this set of widgets, I do regularly use, and sometimes
extend, the program itself, so I will be happy to fix bugs.

(If you are looking for a stand-alone tool to inspect/browse databases,
then this is of no utility.)

Pietro, thx for sharing your code! I will look into soon.
Telling the truth I'm looking for a lib I can use to port our proprietary
desktop payroll/tax app from Foxpro (dos!) to Python+SqlAlchemy.
I'm hesitating between Qt and Gtk now. Former has QtAlchemy
latter SqlKit, but both seems unmaintained for years :(
Btw. why don't you and Sandro join your forces to bring SqlKit
up to date (Python3, Gtk3, SqlAlchemy)?

[gbtami]

Hi Sandro!

Why don't you migrate your project to GitHub to let others contribute more easily?
As Pietro code shows there is interest to use something in Python3 and Gtk3+ days.
I'm one of the developers of PyChess. We ported it last year, so I can help in this
process.

Pietro has worked in this project already, and is the mantainer of the
ubuntu package.

My problem is I don't have any spare time. I have a lot of project
currently in development that have priority over sqlkit.

I'm more than willing to move sqlkit to github, if that could people
taking over it's development.

If you would like to port it to gtk3/py3 I'd be really happy to give
you my support and my help in testing it. But really I couldn't lead
that phase.

OK let's give it a try!
I think you don't want to loose your commit history, so first question
is there any public repo I can import from to start on GitHub?

On the other hand, I did spend a little bit of effort in trying to port
sqlkit to Gtk3, but given the complexity of the software it was well
beyond my possibilities, and this is why I rewrote from scratch a
couple of much simpler widgets. I clearly took inspiration from sqlkit,
but the code may not have much in common, and there are even a couple
of design differences.

Correct. I'll do it. My only concern is that I'm a mercurial guy, so
I'd be more confortable with bitbucket.

The fastest way has been to push to bitbucket:

https://bitbucket.org/sqlkit/sqlkit/

PS: I know that at the moment the documentation is broken. That
dependes on the fact that I used a bridge to use mako templates
that I used at the time (the same guy that wrote SqlAlchemy)

Now I'm more familiar with jinja (the default with Sphinx) and I
should go back to std templates... Nevertheless the offical docs
is correct (http://sqlkit.argolinux.org)

All of my private repos are on bitbucket too, so no problem.
Thx Alessandro!

Basic porting is done, pull request sent.
For remaining bugs I suggest to use BitBucket issue tracker.
One thing I faced and not fixed is ComboBoxEntry is used in
layout/dateedit.py and in layout/widgets.py but it's not exist in
Gtk3+ so this needs some help from you to work out.
It can be created with Gtk.ComboBox.new_with_enty() now:

Great. I wanted to give it a try, but I realized the demo is not
working due to the followin error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./demo.py", line 144, in <module>
d = DemoSql(xml=False, debug=True)
File "/tmp/sqlkit/demo/demo_tour.py", line 68, in __init__
self.w['N.0'].remove_page(-1)
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'remove_page'

It seems the widget dict is not correctly filled. Does the demo work
for you?

ps: ok, net bug will be correctly filed in issue tracker! ;-*

[gbtami]

If your gtk3/pygobject version is below 3.14 I guess the reason is the following.
In layout/widgets.py LWidget _packing_xml() used container_class_list_child_properties()
In Gtk3+ it's Gtk.ContainerClass.list_child_properties() but available only from 3.14
https://git.gnome.org/browse/pygobject/commit/?h=pygobject-3-14&id=bf84915f89fd5fd502b4fb162eef7bc0a48c8783

[gbtami]

Any progress?
