Oh. Yeah, I thought noload would work like defer. The docs aren't clear that the load options (eager, lazy, no) are only for related tables and not attributes. And reading the docstring for noload, it's very similar to the docstring for defer. what about assign_mapper not putting options() on the class?

The returned row object is converted to XML by code that dumps __dict__ contents. I just changed "noload" to "defer" and hey, it does what I want. Probably works because I'm accessing the __dict__ directly rather than going through the object's __getitem__ or __getattr__ -- Brad Clements, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (315)268-1000 http://www.murkworks.com AOL-IM or SKYPE: BKClements Using Tomcat but need to do more?
