Are you sure calling random() and int() is really so much faster than
lock/increase counter/unlock?
Are you sure you are optimizing a real stumbling block?

What __setattr__ do you mean? SQLObject doesn't have __setattr__, so it
doesn't invalidate object, and certainly doesn't reload it from DB.

._SO_finishCreate() and ._init() are only called on create (INSERT) and
not called when the object is fetched from the cache so you don't need
a flag here - just set self.completeName in your overridden _init().
