Source code for examples.custom_attributes.custom_management

"""Illustrates customized class instrumentation, using
the :mod:`sqlalchemy.ext.instrumentation` extension package.

In this example, mapped classes are modified to
store their state in a dictionary attached to an attribute
named "_goofy_dict", instead of using __dict__.
this example illustrates how to replace SQLAlchemy's class
descriptors with a user-defined system.
