I think you violate the design of SA declarative here. You there create an instance & *then* set it's attributes. You do not use a rich __init__. And your reasoning for using a rich __init__ instead is flawed - if you'd need the urlify for slug, you'd certainly also need it for setting it on an existing instance. So the solution to this is simple. Make slug a property. I'm not sure what the best way to do this is in declarative, my attempt would simply be do declare a private attribute _slug (with DB-name slug), and then do the usual property getter/setter stuff to create slug.
