Rick,
Me again! I've been using ming a bit now and really like it. But, I've run into something and I'm wondering if you have any recommendations.

I'd like to programmatically get a list of all Fields that are 'reportable' in order to implement a reporting like feature.

name = Field(str, reportable=True)

In addition, nested document fields may or may not be reportable.

So, it seems like one option would be to subclass SchemaItem (and DocumentMeta I suppose) and have it keep *args and **kwargs so they can be referenced later. That is, schema_item.kwargs.get('reportable')

With this, I can iterate the schema and find the reportable fields (or any other 'extra' attributes). good/bad/other?

@jdog
I think the idea of setting __mongometa__.name to a custom descriptor makes a lot of sense. You might, in fact, want to use a regular object for __mongometa__ rather than the inner class I use in the docs; that might work a little better for your use case. Just make sure it has the attributes you need.

@rick
Great to hear the ORM mapping will be added. It looks like you've got a good deal of experience with ORMs too, so I'm sure it'll be nice.

Let me ask one question here: is there a way I can vary the collection name at runtime for a given document? For example, based on the current subdomain of the http request, I need to vary the mongo collection where documents are stored/retrieved. (I realize this probably a rare requirement, so I may need to hack a solution.)

It appears I could set __mongometa__.name to a custom descriptor, and have that descriptor return my collection name based on the current request. Recommendations?

I'll send any other feedback your way. Thanks and keep up the great work!

@jdog - Thanks for the kind words! The initial release of Ming was focused on schema enforcement and migration. 0.2 (which you can get now from git) is focused on a higher-level "ORM-style" mapping. Right now, we have document relationships (read-only) implemented and will probably have those read-write before the 0.2 release. Let me know what you think of the library! And we're always happy to take contributions. :-)

Looks pretty interesting. Certainly way better than my homebrew mongo library. I'm currently using using formencode to convert/validate incoming user data, then saving to db (no schema enforcement at the db level).

Is schema enforcement and migration help the primary goal of this project or will do you see it taking on other aspects as well (document relationships, enhanced querying)? I know its only 0.1, but just curious as to where it is headed :)

I'll download it and try it out. May be able to replace my current solution without too much hassle.

This is a really cool looking project - thanks for releasing it.

@Chris: c5t looks really great too

@both: I'd like to add these projects to this page:
http://api.mongodb.org/python/1.1.2%2B/tools.html

If you want some control over what's there just fork and add your projects and I'll merge it back in.

Thanks to you and Mark and SF.net for getting this...

Thanks to you and Mark and SF.net for getting this out there. The TurboGears team and I have been hard at work building a CMS based on this technology. It can be seen at:

cheers.
