Hi, the key point is I'm not getting passed a dict, I'm getting passed a list. Here's a dump of what the _is_before handler gets passed:
[(<pydal.objects.Field object at 0x11eb9ad10>, datetime.datetime(2015, 5, 29, 6, 32, 27, 732420)), (<pydal.objects.Field object at 0x1334a5150>, 1L), (<pydal.objects.Field object at 0x1334a5290>, 8L), (<pydal.objects.Field object at 0x1334a5390>, 2L), (<pydal.objects.Field object at 0x11c2dfcd0>, 5.0), (<pydal.objects.Field object at 0x1334a57d0>, 14093L), (<pydal.objects .Field object at 0x1334a5b10>, 'APPEAL'), (<pydal.objects.Field object at 0x1334a5050>, 1L), (<pydal.objects.Field object at 0x1334a5410>, 358001L), (<pydal.objects.Field object at 0x11eb9a4d0>, datetime.datetime(2015, 5, 29, 6, 32, 27, 732420)), (<pydal.objects.Field object at 0x1334a53d0>, 5.0), (< pydal.objects.Field object at 0x1334a5690>, True), (<pydal.objects.Field object at 0x1334a55d0>, 1L)] I test it on a different table and it gets a dict as expected: {'query_group': 1, 'name': 'asddasdasdasdsada', 'created_date': datetime. datetime(2015, 5, 29, 6, 27, 37, 2291), 'run_order': 0, 'type': '', 'sum_description': '', 'created_by': 1L} I'll post again the definition for the one that isn't working: db.income_line_item._before_insert.append(lambda f: trigger_ili_before_insert(f)) Which is essentially the same for the one that is working: db.query._before_insert.append(lambda f: query_before_test(f)) On Thursday, May 28, 2015 at 11:10:21 PM UTC+2, Niphlod wrote: > > the book shows how to print every argument passed to those functions....
