1) MediaComment's author method conflicts with the author
field. So rename it to get_author.
2) Turn it from a normal function into a python property.
That means you call it by ".get_author" not by
".get_author()". This is exactly what sqlalchemy gives
us free of charge.
Starting to move the mongo specific stuff into db/mongo.
And create thin "from db.mongo.Y import z" wrappers in
db/Y.py.
Why?
1) Will make it lots easier to switch to sql for
testing/developing.
2) The mongo stuff needs to stay around after moving to
sql, because the converter needs it.
In trying to ease the migration to SQL, created an
interface to sqlalchemy that looks a lot like the interface
that is currently in use.
*WARNING* Work in progress
This is just a start at a Migration tool from Mongo to SQL.
It fills all currently available SQL models with data from
MongoDB. A few fields in the SQL tables are left out,
because some data format migrations are needed (notably:
queue_file_name).
This thing lives in mediagoblin/db/sql/convert.py because
it has a lot of stuff hardcoded and is not, repeat not for
end users!
Hard coded:
- output database: ./mediagoblin.db (sqlite)
- Mediagoblin config: ./mediagoblin.ini
Run bin/python mediagoblin/db/sql/models.py and watch the
create tables on a memory sqlite db.
Also unicode strings need unicode defauls. Warning by
sqlalchemy.
The .uploader() method conflicts with the uploader database
field. As we're moving to .FIELD for db field access, this
is a relevant conflict.
So renaming .uploader() to .get_uploader()
Note: Migrations can't use "Dot Notation"!
Migrations run on pymongo, not mongokit.
So they can't use the "Dot Notation".
This isn't really a big issue, as migrations are anyway
quite mongo specific.
mongokit documents can allow to use x.FIELD instead of
x["FIELD"].
First it looks a lot more pythonic.
Second it might allow us an easier migration path towards
an sqlalchemy database backend.

Also contains a lot of "debug" print's
- adds a function to convert the tag list of dicts to a text string
properly delimited for loading into forms
- tag string conversion function updated to generate list of dicts
- updates all mentions of the conversion of the string to the tags db
object
- adds a tags template utility and updates the media template accordingly
