Create engine with given dialect object

[EirN]

I want to have same dialect object for different engines (for example, main and mock), so I want to define dialect not only with url string, but also with specifying dialect object.

    primary_engine = create_engine(connect_url, **other_params)
    pass   # do something here
    mock_engine = create_engine(primary_engine.dialect, strategy=mock, executor=some_executor)
    # Or better to have something like this:
    mock_engine = create_mock_engine(primary_engine.dialect, executor=some_executor')

Now I have to care about which dialect I use like this:

    primary_engine = create_engine(connect_url, **other_params)
    pass   # do something here
    mock_engine = create_engine('postgres:///', strategy=mock, executor=some_executor)

why do you need to share the actual dialect object? Why can't the new engine have its own dialect which you specify with the string lookup as always?

e.g.:

mock_engine = create_engine(my_engine.url, strategy="mock", executor=some_executor)

?

no response, so closing this for now.
