Please forgive my ignorance I am new to Python development.



Is there a tool to create Python code from an existing database (e.g. mySQL, Postgresql)



For example, if I have a database designed with sample data inside (I have tables, functions, and data established in a database) is there any code generator tools that will help me to generate some of the python code (e.g. classes/entities, etc.)

          It sounds like you are describing Object-relational mapping (ORM). One popular ORM for Python is SQLAlchemy.

          • SQLAlchemy is built into pyramid correct? I haven't used it, but I thought SQLAlchemy takes the classes/entities and makes the database tables... so that would be the opposite of what I need it to do.. but I am not familiar with SQLAlchemy... is this the case?

            Actually, SQLAlchemy can swing both ways. See blog.pythonlibrary.org/2010/09/10/….

          To generate object relational mapper (ORM) models from a pre-existing SQL database, a tool that you may find useful is the Python module sqlacodegen or forked flask-sqlacodegen



          These will allow you to build a map of the database on your local disk, to be used with SQLAlchemy and/or Flask.
