All Python libraries I am familiar with are intended to work with GC on, 
including SQLAlchemy.  Some simpler libraries may be fine without GC turned on 
but that is not coverage we currently support in SQLAlchemy.     The most we'd 
ever do is to eliminate all cycles within frequently created/dropped objects.   
This is currently largely the case although I can't speak for how complete that 
coverage is.

Note this does not include structural long-lasting objects like Table, 
MetaData, mapper(), etc., these very necessarily have cycles in them.
