Not sure if this helps or not, but how about using a lambda that that calls your function with the arguments you want? This is the solution I've been using for passing arguments to wxPython event handlers. This tutorial might help: http://wiki.wxpython.org/Passing%20Arguments%20to%20Callbacks

How about functools.partial ? As far as I know, functools.partial will simply do this. Usually, I import this when I need to make an argument-less function equip extra arguments.

Should I open a ticket then? this kind of pollutes the API with kwargs that might be needed for the listen() function itself someday, these are external use cases that are easily handled in Python: def before_insert_listener(arg1, arg2, k1='value', k2='value'): def before_insert(mapper, conn, target): ... body return before_insert event.listen(cls, 'before_insert', before_insert_listener(arg1, arg2, k1='x', k2='y')) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sqlalchemy" group.
