Sadly, no.

Because SQLObject handles classes by name (e.g. 
ForeignKey('TableName')) it is important that classes not be redefined 
and that names be unique.  Re-fixing up classes would be quite 
difficult.

In general redefining classes in Python can be problematic.  In this 
specific instance I suppose it wouldn't cause a problem, but the 
assertion in there as a safeguard.
