Macaron is a small and simple object-relational mapper (ORM) for SQLite and Python. It is distributed as a single file module which has no dependencies other than the Python Standard Library.
Macaron provides provides easy access methods to SQLite database. And it supports Bottle web framework through plugin mechanism.
Example:
>>> import macaron >>> macaron.macaronage(dbfile="members.db") >>> team = Team.create(name="Houkago Tea Time") >>> team.members.append(first_name="Ritsu", last_name="Tainaka", part="Dr") <Member object 1> >>> mio = team.members.append(first_name="Mio", last_name="Akiyama", part="Ba") >>> print mio <Member 'Mio Akiyama : Ba'> >>> for member in team.members: print member ... <Member 'Ritsu Tainaka : Dr'> <Member 'Mio Akiyama : Ba'>
Macaron supports Many-To-One relationships and reverse reference. Many-To-Many relationships have not been supported yet. To realize simple implementation, Macaron does not provide methods for creation of tables.
MacaronPlugin class for Bottle web framework is implemented.

Bottle is a lightweight web framework for Python. Macaron can be used with Bottle through :class:`MacaronPlugin`, which is tested with Bottle 0.10.9.
#!/usr/bin/env python
from bottle import *
import macaron
install(macaron.MacaronPlugin("address.db"))
class Address(macaron.Model):
_table_name = "address"
@route("/hello")
def index():
addr = Address.get(1)
return "<h1>Hello!!</h1>My address is %s" % addr.address
run(host="localhost", port=8080)
:class:`MacaronPlugin` create lazy connection. So the :class:`sqlite3.Connection` object is create at call Macaron methods. In case of no use the methods in :meth:`bottle.route`, any connection is created.
