0. So what is it?

---

I wanted a simple ORM / model thing for web.py. If you have a schema such as

CREATE TABLE people (
    id integer not null
  , name text
  , age integer
);

then you can use ModelThing like so:

from modelthing import ModelThing

class Person (ModelThing):
    _table = "people"

    def __unicode__(self):
        print "Hello, my name is %s" % (self.name,)

and VOILA you can do stuff like so:

ahmed = Person(name="ahmed",age=24)
ahmed.save()

alice = Person(name="alice",age=24)
alice.save()

for person in Person.list(age=24):
    print person

and so on and so forth.

1. Run the example
