Questions tagged [formalchemy]

formalchemy is a python library that allows for easy HTML forms manipulation when using SQLAlchemy models.

formalchemy works to eliminate boilerplate code when working with HTML forms by introspecting into an SQLAlchemy model and automatically creating forms based on (optionally user-generated) templates. formalchemy additionally offers a module for the pyramid framework that generates administrator templates for adding, deleting, or modifying data in SQLAlchemy models.
