This commit should be on a new version branch, probably ghini-4.0-dev. |

hi. thanks. the branch 3.1-dev is the right one for Python3. I am a bit surprised by this commit, as I've not looked into ghini.desktop for quite a while now. did you run all unit tests? does the program manage to execute a couple of queries in a row without freezing for like 15s? |

Hi Mario - you should be surprised.. It's nowhere near ready. I haven't issued merge requests for a public project, and I shouldn't have done it. I can't remember now, but I think I forked the project, and when I pushed it created a merge request?? Anyway, what I would like to do is have an updated desktop version that has support for more recent software packages (sqlalchemy, gtk, python & packages). Currently, I'm floundering around with a lot of things that I've touched on in the past, but haven't done a lot with (database programming - no experience w/ sqlalchemy, no experience w/ glade or much GUI programming, some python but not much). I have the build configured in a pyenv environment using Eclipse as the debugger. I also have it running in a docker container, but the access is via VNC, and it's not perfect, and it's not configured for development. I need an isolated development environment - if you have suggestions for that, I'd love to hear them. My motivation is to add some enhancements, and be able to easily install it. It's more work than I bargained for. I've struggled quite a bit with the SQLAlchemy updates, in particular defining relations using the relationship method instead of relation. I created an ERD in Eclipse, and have been double checking the relationships, but I'm not very familiar, so it's been slow. It seems like there must be a way to encapsulate all the required packages for Python - is that the egg? Not sure, learning as I go. Any pointers would be appreciated, but you can safely ignore the merge requests for now. Chris |
