the API to retrieve history for an individual attribute looks like:
from sqlalchemy.orm import attributes a, u, d = attributes.get_history(Class.attribute, obj) where a, u, d are lists of added items, unchanged items, and deleted items, respectively. For a scalar attributes, a, u, d are lists of length one. Example: user = Session.query(User).get(1) a, u, d = attributes.get_history(User.name, user) a, u, d would be along the lines of: ['jack'], [], ['ed'] to indicate the name field was changed from 'ed' to 'jack'.
