Comment on Cubes - Python Lightweight OLAP - 0.9 released

Comments

Author here. Just a small explanation: target audience are mostly those who would like to add OLAP to their apps with simple multi-dimensional reporting needs (see trivial hello-world example [1]). This release brings new star/snowflake aggregation browser which can be (roughly) considered to your analytical data as ORM framework is to your transactional data - some magic happens between your code and the database that makes your life easier.

Visualisation is not yet included and will be added in modular form of "presenters" [2]. If anyone with web/JS skills would like to help, he is welcome, as my skills in this area is little bit weak. There is unmaintained and unfinished prototype of JavaScript front-end as well [3]. Flask based example of simple dimension browsing is included in the source [4].

If you need any help with model creation, you encounter any issues, have a suggestion let me know.
