class MutableComposite(MutableBase): (source)

:
Class Method | coerce |
Given a value, coerce it into the target type. |
Class Method | _listen |
Establish this type as a mutation listener for the given mapped descriptor. |
Property | _parents |
Dictionary of parent object's :class:`.InstanceState`->attribute name on the parent. |
Given a descriptor attribute, return a ``set()`` of the attribute keys which indicate a change in the state of this attribute. This is normally just ``set([attribute.key])``, but can be overridden to provide for additional keys. E.g. a :class:`.MutableComposite` augments this set with the attribute keys associated with the columns that comprise the composite value. This collection is consulted in the case of intercepting the :meth:`.InstanceEvents.refresh` and :meth:`.InstanceEvents.refresh_flush` events, which pass along a list of attribute names that have been refreshed; the list is compared against this set to determine if action needs to be taken. .. versionadded:: 1.0.5
