Can I store the creation of a db (peewee) model in a variable while still having that model be created?

example below

@app.route('arbitrary_url')
def random_route_function():
    created_database_row = models.Thingy.create(
                 username = 'stuff',
                 password = 'encrypted_stuff'
)
print('created_database_row')

Since i have stored the creation in a variable do i have to instantiate it or does it get created first and then stored into the variable. THANKS!!!!

Yes, that will create the database entry. You are calling the function and setting the variable to the return value of that function.
