The default relationship cascade settings will do it for you. Here I made
them explicit.
class Parent(Base):
__tablename__ = 'parent'
id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
class Child(Base):
__tablename__ = 'child'
id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
p_id = Column(Integer, ForeignKey(Parent.id))
parent = relation(Parent, backref=backref('children',
cascade="save-update,merge"))
sess.add(Parent(children=[Child(),Child()]))
sess.commit()
p = sess.query(Parent).first()
sess.delete(p)
sess.commit()
