+        for each mapper that is encountered when the

+        :func:`_orm.configure_mappers` is typically invoked

+        new mappers have been made available and new mapper use is
+        detected.
+
+        When the event is called, the mapper should be in its final

+        other mappers; they might still be pending within the

+        *will* be fully available, since this style of relationship does not
+        rely upon other possibly-not-configured mappers to know that they
+        exist.
+
+        For an event that is guaranteed to have **all** mappers ready
+        to go including backrefs that are defined only on other

+        mapper/class individually, and the mapper is passed to the event
+        itself.  It also is called exactly once for a particular mapper.  The
+        event is therefore useful for configurational steps that benefit from

+        This event is a ``do_`` event, meaning it has the capability to replace

+
+    The :paramref:`.AttributeEvents.propagate` flag is also important when
+    applying listeners to mapped classes that also have mapped subclasses,
+    as when using mapper inheritance patterns::
+
+
+        @event.listens_for(MySuperClass.attr, "set", propagate=True)
+        def receive_set(target, value, initiator):
+            print("value set: %s" % target)
+
+    The full list of modifiers available to the :func:`.event.listen`
+    and :func:`.event.listens_for` functions are below.
+
+    :param active_history=False: When True, indicates that the
+      "set" event would like to receive the "old" value being
+      replaced unconditionally, even if this requires firing off
+      database loads. Note that ``active_history`` can also be
+      set directly via :func:`.column_property` and
+      :func:`_orm.relationship`.
+
+    :param propagate=False: When True, the listener function will
+      be established not just for the class attribute given, but
+      for attributes of the same name on all current subclasses
+      of that class, as well as all future subclasses of that
+      class, using an additional listener that listens for
+      instrumentation events.
+    :param raw=False: When True, the "target" argument to the
+      event will be the :class:`.InstanceState` management
+      object, rather than the mapped instance itself.
+    :param retval=False: when True, the user-defined event
+      listening must return the "value" argument from the
+      function.  This gives the listening function the opportunity
+      to change the value that is ultimately used for a "set"
+      or "append" event.

+

+        attribute is accessed, e.g. read::
+
+
+            x = my_object.some_attribute
+
+        The ORM's default behavior when this occurs for an un-initialized
+        attribute is to return the value ``None``; note this differs from
+        Python's usual behavior of raising ``AttributeError``.    The
+        event here can be used to customize what value is actually returned,
+        with the assumption that the event listener would be mirroring
+        a default generator that is configured on the Core
+        :class:`_schema.Column`
+        object as well.
+
+        Since a default generator on a :class:`_schema.Column`
+        might also produce
+        a changing value such as a timestamp, the
+        :meth:`.AttributeEvents.init_scalar`
+        event handler can also be used to **set** the newly returned value, so
+        that a Core-level default generation function effectively fires off
+        only once, but at the moment the attribute is accessed on the
+        non-persisted object.   Normally, no change to the object's state
+        is made when an uninitialized attribute is accessed (much older
+        SQLAlchemy versions did in fact change the object's state).
+
+        If a default generator on a column returned a particular constant,
+        a handler might be used as follows::
+
+            SOME_CONSTANT = 3.1415926
+
+
+            class MyClass(Base):
+                # ...
+
+                some_attribute = Column(Numeric, default=SOME_CONSTANT)

+                MyClass.some_attribute, "init_scalar", retval=True, propagate=True
+            )
+            def _init_some_attribute(target, dict_, value):
+                dict_["some_attribute"] = SOME_CONSTANT
+                return SOME_CONSTANT
+
+        Above, we initialize the attribute ``MyClass.some_attribute`` to the
+        value of ``SOME_CONSTANT``.   The above code includes the following
+        features:
+
+        * By setting the value ``SOME_CONSTANT`` in the given ``dict_``,
+          we indicate that this value is to be persisted to the database.
+          This supersedes the use of ``SOME_CONSTANT`` in the default generator
+          for the :class:`_schema.Column`.  The ``active_column_defaults.py``
+          example given at :ref:`examples_instrumentation` illustrates using
+          the same approach for a changing default, e.g. a timestamp
+          generator.    In this particular example, it is not strictly
+          necessary to do this since ``SOME_CONSTANT`` would be part of the
+          INSERT statement in either case.
+
+        * By establishing the ``retval=True`` flag, the value we return
+          from the function will be returned by the attribute getter.
+          Without this flag, the event is assumed to be a passive observer
+          and the return value of our function is ignored.
+
+        * The ``propagate=True`` flag is significant if the mapped class
+          includes inheriting subclasses, which would also make use of this
+          event listener.  Without this flag, an inheriting subclass will
+          not use our event handler.
+
+        In the above example, the attribute set event
+        :meth:`.AttributeEvents.set` as well as the related validation feature
+        provided by :obj:`_orm.validates` is **not** invoked when we apply our
+        value to the given ``dict_``.  To have these events to invoke in
+        response to our newly generated value, apply the value to the given
+        object as a normal attribute set operation::
+
+            SOME_CONSTANT = 3.1415926
+
+
+            @event.listens_for(
+                MyClass.some_attribute, "init_scalar", retval=True, propagate=True
+            )
+            def _init_some_attribute(target, dict_, value):
+                # will also fire off attribute set events
+                target.some_attribute = SOME_CONSTANT
+                return SOME_CONSTANT
+
+        When multiple listeners are set up, the generation of the value
+        is "chained" from one listener to the next by passing the value
+        returned by the previous listener that specifies ``retval=True``
+        as the ``value`` argument of the next listener.
+
+        :param target: the object instance receiving the event.
+         If the listener is registered with ``raw=True``, this will
+         be the :class:`.InstanceState` object.
+        :param value: the value that is to be returned before this event
+         listener were invoked.  This value begins as the value ``None``,
