As of Nov. 2013, when moving from 3.0 to 3.2 -------------------------------------------- * driver-creation . expect an api instead of a config (and api.config is set) * managers . cannot access their driver from self, but from the context (api is passed to methods) * dbsession . use api.dbsession() whenever possible . it's fair to have importers and sfaadmin use the global session (there won't be instances of api in their case) . there is one or 2 exceptions where dbsession is retrieved from an sqlalchemy object but this is deemed poor practice, please DO NOT do this as far as possible
