Are you sure you didn't try:
s = text("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM table WHERE field LIKE 'something%'")
Ie. Included a percent sign in the query?
I think that sql strings get passed through python's % substitution
function at some point in SQLAlchemy (or possibly the DBAPI driver), so
you need to use '%%' instead of '%'.
Hope that helps,
Simon
