theres nothing preventing you from calling copy() from the cursor
yourself .....
conn = engine.connect()
cursor = conn.connection.cursor()
# go nuts with cursor
as far as a "COPY" SQL construct, these are welcome as patches (which
include unit tests) to be added to the postgres dialect, i.e.
from sqlalchemy.databases.postgres import copy_from
engine.execute(copy_from(sometable, 'somestring'))
