Yep, that was it; I was blurring between funcs and actual expressions.
Arg!
This works perfectly --
from sqlalchemy import *
import sqlalchemy.sql as sql
from datetime import datetime
....
current_doy = datetime.today().timetuple().tm_yday
floor = current_doy - 2
if (floor < 1): floor +=365
ceiling = current_doy + 14
if (ceiling > 365): ceiling -= 365
orm_doy = sql.expression.extract('doy', Contact.birth_date)
db.query(Contact).\
filter(sql.expression.between(orm_doy,
floor,
ceiling)).all()
