the + operator resolves to the concatenation operator if used against an
expression with a string type, or if using untyped elements concat() will get
you there:
from sqlalchemy.sql import column
column('foo', String) + "bar"
column('foo').concat("bar")
your expression above appears to be evaluating a numeric against a string
(so...this is MySQL ? :) ) you might consider calling cast(expr, String) on
the numeric value before evaluating in a string context.
((score / 10) * 10).concat("-").concat((score / 10)*10) + 9).label('scorerange')
from sqlalchemy import cast, String
cast((score / 10) * 10, String).concat("-").concat(cast((score / 10)*10) + 9,
String)).label('scorerange')
