the TypeDecorator just needs to handle the case where the bind or result value 
is None:

class WeightType(types.TypeDecorator):
    
    impl = types.Numeric
    
    def process_bind_param(self, weight, dialect):
        if weight is None:
            return None
        return weight.base_value
    
    def process_result_value(self, value, dialect):
        if value is None:
            return None
        return Weight(value, "g")


script runs fine after that.  You probably meant to name the "nutrient_weight" 
column as "weight", or otherwise remap the attribute on the NutritionValue 
class mapper with that name.
