That looks like a @classmethod. Wouldn't customer.as_dict (a normal method with self, not cls) do the right thing? Don't you already have a customer object with the correct values? I realize you'd need to fiddle the names to add a second as_dict method. If you're retrieving a Customer object through the SQLAlchemy session using the primary key, I'd expect SQLAlchemy to return the modified object. You might check that also.
