the mapper().iterate_properties accessor only refers to MapperProperty objects,
which are all of those attributes that the mapper() associates with the
database in some way.
the association proxy is not a MapperProperty - it is just a Python descriptor
that has proxying behavior from one attribute to another. It can in theory be
used to proxy data between any two attributes, independently of SQLAlchemy
(there might be a few bits of logic that look for SQLAlchemy-related attributes
to help it decide how the proxying should be done, though).
If you're looking to iterate through the attributes associated with the class,
the Python dir() function can get you this. You can limit the results to those
classes you need using isinstance():
def properties():
for attr in dir(MyClass):
if hasattr(attr, "property"):
yield attr.property
elif isinstance(attr, association_proxy):
yield attr
