SQLAlchemy中的一对一自我关系

我需要创建链接列表的SQLAlchemy版本。它实际上比这更复杂,但归结为:

我需要在课堂上实现一对一,自我引用,双向关系。每个元素可能只有一个父母或根本没有,最多只有一个孩子。

我简化了课程,所以它看起来像这样:

class Node(declarative_base()):
    __tablename__ = 'nodes'

    id = Column(Integer, Sequence('nodes_id_seq'), primary_key=True, autoincrement=True)
    value = Column(Integer)
    prev_node_id = Column(Integer, ForeignKey('nodes.id'))
    next = relationship('Node', uselist=False, backref=backref('prev', uselist=False))

但是,当我尝试创建一个时,它会引发异常:

>>> Node()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<console>", line 1, in <module>
  File "<string>", line 2, in __init__
  File "sqlalchemy\orm\instrumentation.py", line 309, in _new_state_if_none
    state = self._state_constructor(instance, self)

[...]

  File "sqlalchemy\orm\properties.py", line 1418, in _generate_backref
    self._add_reverse_property(self.back_populates)
  File "sqlalchemy\orm\properties.py", line 871, in _add_reverse_property
    % (other, self, self.direction))
ArgumentError: Node.next and back-reference Node.prev are both of the same direction <symbol 'ONETOMANY>.  Did you mean to set remote_side on the many-to-one side ?

我在这里缺少什么?谷歌搜索让我无处可寻......:/

异常表示您需要为关系设置remote_side关键字。否则sqlalchemy无法选择参考方向。

class Node(declarative_base()):
    ...
    prev = relationship(
        'Node',
        uselist=False,
        remote_side=[id],
        backref=backref('next', uselist=False)
    )
