It looks good to me also, but one detail, put:
*if context is None: context = self.pool['res.users'].context_get(cr,
uid)*
To not make the query when context dictionary is already {} (maybe you can
be interested in not propagating user context and you pass explicitly
context={} in your call to the function).
Regards.
