I am trying to write a function that takes kwargs as a param and
generates an update statement where the rows to be updated are
specified in an in clause.

Something like this:

     def update_by_in(self, **kwargs):
         filter_group = []
         for col in kwargs['query_params']:
             # obviously this line does not work as col is a string,
but this is the intent
             filter_group.append(col.in_(tuple(kwargs['query_params'][col])))

         
self._session.query(self.model_class).filter(*filter_group).update(kwargs['values'])

self.update_by_in(
     **{'query_params': {'companyCode': ['A', 'B', 'C']},
         'values': {'portfolioName': 'test'}}
  )

Is there a way to do this? I think I need to use setattr in building
up the filter_group list, but I'm not quite sure how to do it.

If it's any help, on this page:

    https://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/14/core/metadata.html

it has this:

    # access the column "employee_id":
    employees.columns.employee_id

    # or just
    employees.c.employee_id

    # via string
    employees.c['employee_id']
