Convert sqlalchemy from flask sub-install to separate install #15

Closed jabrouwer82 closed 9 years ago

jabrouwer82 commented 9 years ago

I'm confused on how the currect sqlalchemy setup is done. The instructions that Im finding have an entirely different method of doing things.

http://flask.pocoo.org/docs/0.10/patterns/sqlalchemy/

I've installed flask and sqlalchemy machine-wide on the rackspace server, so it should be asimple port, but I want to talk to Parker T about how things are currently done first.

Do you mean the flask/bin/python copy of python? That's a virtualenv, with flask and sqlalchemy installed. No need to keep them, I just have it that way cause it made the install easier. Also, its using the Flask-squalchemy flask extension described in the link above, which is why you don't see any create_engine or scoped_session calls like in the tutorial. Is that what you mean?

Oops, I skipped right over the flask-sqlalchemy bit. I've installed all those modules machine-wide (no need for venv), so anyone should be able to clone and run the application from the rackspace server if they like.
