I have an Event class that creates an object when "events" are pulled from 
the database.  It also creates event objects from user input - the user can 
then commit() these events to the database.

So, event objects are created from two different sources (actually more, 
but, for simplicity..): from 1) user input coming from javascript, and 2) 
from a database lookup.

I want to run different initialization code depending on which source the 
data is coming from - such as, I want to error-check user input, but I 
don't need to error-check database lookups.  What are some python/pyramid 
best practices?  Is there a term for this?   I think inheritance would 
create too many subclasses and wonky coding.  "Overloading" doesn't seem 
like the right term for it.

Right now, I am passing a {'source': 'none'/'html'/'database'/'etc'} 
parameter to the Event.__init__().  I then use if statements to go from 
there.  It works and it's easy to add a new 'source', but it seems sloppy.

Thanks for any help.
