Sorry. The same object, but these attributes are pure Python attributes, they aren't mapped to columns in the database. They are defined using property() and act as proxies to nodes in XML document. > To mark the object dirty you can say instance_state(myobject).modified = > True , where instance_state is in sqlalchemy.orm.attributes.

This is what I was looking for. Thank you!
