This is not really a sqlalchemy question, but the quick answer is that you need to convert both your indexed data and your queries to the same normal form. In your example, you appear to be correctly stripping spaces and periods in your query. If you haven't done that in the database, then you should do it there, too. If you need to preserve the original formatting of the telephone number column, then create another column that contains the stripped phone numbers. You probably also want to put an index on that column.
Lastly, a minor note on the sample code: you appear to be missing a "%" operator in your LIKE query.
