butterdb is a Python ORM for Google Drive Spreadsheets. Never use this for anything important, it's an experiment.

Installation
------------

``pip install butterdb``

Usage
-----

::

import butterdb

database = butterdb.Database("MyDatabaseSheet", "foo@google.com", "password")


@butterdb.register(database)
class User(butterdb.Model):
def __init__(self, name, password):
self.name = self.field(name)
self.password = self.field(password)


barry = User("Barry", "hunter2")
barry.name = "Steve"
barry.commit()

users = User.get_instances()

Tests
-----
`nosetests`

What works?
----------
* Store data in Google Spreadsheets (the cloud!!!)
* Models from classes
* Fields as attributes. decimals, ints and strings only (as far as I know)
* Commits
* Mocked unit tests, mock database
* Arbitrary cell execution with `=blah()` (free stored procedures?)
* Auto backup/bad patch control

What's missing?
---------------
* Spreadsheets must exist before connecting
* References
* Collections
* Customizable fields
* Customizable table size (arbitrarily hardcoded)

Feedback
--------
Comments, concerns, issues and pull requests welcomed. Reddit /u/Widdershiny or email me at ncwjohnstone@gmail.com.
