   You only need apply() for very old Python versions. In newer Python
(and SQLObject requires such a new Python) you can just use the
following simple syntax:

   args = [...]
   keywords = {...}
   function(*args, **keywords)

   There is no, because when you create an object, it have to know its
id, so SQLOBject does INSERT and asks for new id.
