<DIV>Well, not exactly - just a way to separate access to data from everything else in the product.</DIV>
<DIV>Maybe a separate class that needs the connection as argument and that just returns the data I need in appropriate data structures by calling class methods.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>class DataModel (object):</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> def __init__ (self, conn):</DIV>
<DIV> self.conn = conn</DIV>
<DIV> self.sqlFetchSomething = SQL (.....)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> def fetchSomething (self):</DIV>
<DIV> return self.sqlFetchSomething</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>This is really simple, but I think it gives the idea.</DIV>
<DIV>Obviously I'd like to perform various operation at the data level, for example return a list of lists for reportlab tables and so on.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>TIA,</DIV>
