you can build yourself an "Alter" construct and use that. You can build new constructs using http://www.sqlalchemy.org/docs/core/compiler.html . The construct will then work against different backends transparently for each one you build.
If you're only on PG then the effort is not entirely worth it. A migration library that I started up some months ago, but haven't had time to work on, is called Alembic, will also eventnually have this. I will be needing ALTER support and a way of rewriting enums (also the CHECK constraint used in non-ENUM platforms) for my current gig in the coming months so I should be picking up work on Alembic soon (it has no docs yet but its at https://bitbucket.org/zzzeek/alembic - at the very least it has examples on how things like this are done.
