Hi Stephan,

Thanks for your comment.

Just yesterday I was looking at a couple of external sqlalchemy
projects: Elixir [1] and sqlalchemy-validations [2]. I only had a brief
look through the code but the way sqlalchemy-validations hooks itself
into Elixir seemed point to a way to hook zope fieldproperty in there.
Maybe. ;-)
