at what "moment in time"? I thought you might mean when they are expired from the Session, easy enough use the expire event http://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/latest/orm/events.html?highlight=expire%20event#sqlalchemy.orm.events.InstanceEvents.expire but then you are saying "detached by their nature", as though they are created that way. > > Looking at `ormInstance.__dict__['_sa_instance_state'].__dict__`: > > * expired = True (expected) > * expired_attributes are the columns I want that would be: inspect(instance).expired_attributes > * _instance_dict is a dead weakref that would be: inspect(instance).dict but when you say "dead weakref" I think we are again getting at this "moment in time" you refer towards > > I think if I could preserve the _instance_dict, that would be fine. preserve it from....when ? when is it there? why did it go away ? > > I don't want to bind/merge this to a new session, because I'm concerned with > the info at that moment in time. > > -- > SQLAlchemy - > The Python SQL Toolkit and Object Relational Mapper > > http://www.sqlalchemy.org/ > > To post example code, please provide an MCVE: Minimal, Complete, and > Verifiable Example.
