Introduction
The package "pybackend" contains a group of python modules used to create an object and database based application development framework. It can be used to create python objects backed by any full-fledged RDBMS. The objects can be created on the fly without writing any SQL based queries. The attributes of the object are passed on to respective tables seamlessly without programmers' intervention. It also handles databaseconnection -pool management.
Documentation for all the modules in this package can be retrieved by pydoc. Run following command after installing this package:
pydoc -w module_name
Here module_name is the name of the module for which document is to be generated. The document will be created in the current directory with the name module_name.html. Use a web browser to read it. Alternately you can run a python document server on your workstation. For running it on port 9090, run following command:
pydoc -p 9090
Access documentation for all python modules by accessing the URL http://localhost:9090 by a web browser. For accessing documentaion for module "backend", point your web browser to the following URL: http://localhost:9090/backend.html
For stopping the document server, press Ctrl-C on the same terminal from where it was started.
The directory doc/ contains documents in html and pdf formats. They might be quite useful for the developers taking the dive for the first time:-)
