SQLAlchemy 2.0

[immanelg]

Will there be support for SQLAlchemy 2.0 or I should just use it directly?

[tarsil]

@madkinsz Apologies as missed this one. So as far as I could understand, its not planned to give support to SQLA 2.0?

[Kludex]

We need someone to maintain this package. 🤷

[Kludex]

I'm not able to review a PR with that bump here...

Any of you are? @rafalp @aminalaee

[rafalp]

If PR's comes up that bumps SQLAlchemy support to 2.0, I'm fine with it. But I have no resources to develop one myself.

[tarsil]

@rafalp @Kludex no worries. Give me a few days and I will have a look and open a PR with a possible integration with SQLA 2.0

We are looking at possible backwards incompatible changes. Last time I tried a few things were changed internally within SQLA.

I don't see a reason to have forks of this package just to add SQLA 2.0 when databases is already maintained

[Kludex]

Cool. 👍

Thanks. 🙏

[tarsil]

No problem. I have products depending of databases and having the support for 2.0 we can leverage python 3. 2.0 does not support python 2 anymore.

[samuela]

any update on this issue? I'd really like to use slack-sdk which depends on databases but cannot due to this version constraint

[zanieb]

@samuela there is #539 but it has unaddressed questions and could use another contributor

[samuela]

Thanks @zanieb ! I ended up finding a workaround for the time being

[caarmen]

@samuela Could you share some details of your workaround? 🙏🏻

[zanieb]

@caarmen they removed the package entirely as seen in f9236b3

[ImEins]

Can you guys tell us if you plan to add support for sqlalchemy 2.0 ?

[zanieb]

@ImEins there is no maintainer that is going to implement it as this time. I will review a contribution adding support.

[Distortedlogic]

update?

[zanieb]

The work at #539 is stalled as the author is busy with other things.

[ansipunk]

We did this. #540. Is there a timeframe for a release? @tomchristie

[tarsil]

@ansipunk there is one PR opened yesterday that requires some attention. Hopefully today or tomorrow can be merged and we can perform a release.
