"""Serializer/Deserializer objects for usage with SQLAlchemy query structures, 
allowing "contextual" deserialization.

Any SQLAlchemy query structure, either based on sqlalchemy.sql.*
or sqlalchemy.orm.* can be used.  The mappers, Tables, Columns, Session
etc. which are referenced by the structure are not persisted in serialized
form, but are instead re-associated with the query structure
when it is deserialized.

Usage is nearly the same as that of the standard Python pickle module::

    from sqlalchemy.ext.serializer import loads, dumps
    metadata = MetaData(bind=some_engine)
    Session = scoped_session(sessionmaker())
    
    # ... define mappers
    
    query = Session.query(MyClass).filter(MyClass.somedata=='foo').order_by(MyClass.sortkey)
    
    # pickle the query
    serialized = dumps(query)
    
    # unpickle.  Pass in metadata + scoped_session
    query2 = loads(serialized, metadata, Session)
    
    print query2.all()

Similar restrictions as when using raw pickle apply; mapped classes must be 
themselves be pickleable, meaning they are importable from a module-level
namespace.

The serializer module is only appropriate for query structures.  It is not
needed for:

* instances of user-defined classes.   These contain no references to engines, 
  sessions or expression constructs in the typical case and can be serialized directly.

* Table metadata that is to be loaded entirely from the serialized structure (i.e. is
  not already declared in the application).   Regular pickle.loads()/dumps() can 
  be used to fully dump any ``MetaData`` object, typically one which was reflected 
  from an existing database at some previous point in time.  The serializer module
  is specifically for the opposite case, where the Table metadata is already present
  in memory.
