The mixin by itself is not mapped so MyAddressMixin.address is just a Column
object, not the InstrumentedAttribute which accepts the "set" event.
So for this kind of thing you need to set up those events within an event of
their own:
from sqlalchemy.orm import mapper
@event.listens_for(mapper, "mapper_configured")
def _listen_address(m, cls_):
if issubclass(cls_, MyAddressMixin):
event.listen(cls_.address, 'set', always_foo, retval=True)
class Employee(Base, MyAddressMixin):
__tablename__ = 'employees'
id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
name = Column(String(100))
def always_foo(target, value, oldvalue, initiator):
return "foo"
print Employee(address="Adsf").address
