I have looked all over to a solution for this issue and haven't found
a solution. I am trying to use inheritance more than one level deep
and it does not seem to set the discriminator field on the top level
item. It works fine if it is only subclassed once but when you try and
do it twice it fails. The code below shows this happening in as short
of an example as I could come up with.
Thanks in advance for help,
Julian Krause

from sqlalchemy import Column, Integer, String, ForeignKey,
create_engine

class Person(Base):
__tablename__ = 'people'
id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
discriminator = Column('type', String(50))
__mapper_args__ = {'polymorphic_on': discriminator}
class Engineer(Person):
__tablename__ = 'engineers'
id = Column(Integer, ForeignKey('people.id'), primary_key=True)

Base.metadata.drop_all(engine)
Base.metadata.create_all(engine)
Session = sessionmaker(autocommit=False, autoflush=False, bind=engine)
sess = Session()
me = MechanicalEngineer()
sess.add(me)
sess.commit()
