How to run the cli when I don't have a package/module set up?

[justintime]

I have a python setup where I've got some relatively simple scripts that interact with a fairly complex database that I've wrapped with SQLAlchemy. Here's the structure:

working dir with script1.py, script2.py
|--- db/
|    |--- __init__.py (empty)
|    |--- models.py

No matter what I've tried to pass to paracelsus on the command line, I can't get it to load my base class. Any ideas on what I can do to use this tool?

What file contains the base model class, and what is it named?

My original post had some bad formatting, I updated it to make the structure clearer.

To answer your question, my models.py contains my Base class:

class Base(DeclarativeBase):
    pass

What's the exact command you ran and the output?

Thanks for reporting!

This could be resolved with the python-dir option, like so:

paracelsus graph db.models:Base --python-dir=.

That being said I think it makes sense to add the current working directory there automatically, so pull request #6 added that small change in. If you upgrade to the latest release your command should work without any changes.

Excellent, thanks so much. I can verify 0.3.0 works for me!
