OK, Alembic autogen isn't doing __repr__() for "variant" correctly right now, we can look into that (added http://www.sqlalchemy.org/trac/ticket/2628) , for now you'd need to put your character_type() into the migration scripts manually, or subclass TypeDecorator to do it: from sqlalchemy.types import TypeDecorator class character_type(TypeDecorator): def __init__(self, length): self.impl = String(length).with_variant(... everything from before ...) def __repr__(self): return "character_type(%d)" % self.impl.length > Surely 'Variant' is strange to me, but I have no idea, then I got below after > I typed command 'alembic upgrade head': > INFO [alembic.migration] Context impl MySQLImpl. > INFO [alembic.migration] Will assume non-transactional DDL. > INFO [alembic.migration] Running upgrade None -> 1ba36c080bdb > Traceback (most recent call last): > File "/usr/local/bin/alembic", line 9, in <module> > load_entry_point('alembic==0.3.6', 'console_scripts', 'alembic')() > File > "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/alembic-0.3.6-py2.7.egg/alembic/config.py", > line 229, in main > **dict((k, getattr(options, k)) for k in kwarg) > File > "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/alembic-0.3.6-py2.7.egg/alembic/command.py", > line 121, in upgrade > script.run_env() > File > "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/alembic-0.3.6-py2.7.egg/alembic/script.py", > line 192, in run_env > util.load_python_file(self.dir, 'env.py') > File > "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/alembic-0.3.6-py2.7.egg/alembic/util.py", > line 185, in load_python_file > module = imp.load_source(module_id, path, open(path, 'rb')) > File "alembic/env.py", line 76, in <module> > run_migrations_online() > File "alembic/env.py", line 69, in run_migrations_online > context.run_migrations() > File "<string>", line 7, in run_migrations > File > "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/alembic-0.3.6-py2.7.egg/alembic/environment.py", > line 467, in run_migrations > self.get_context().run_migrations(**kw) > File > "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/alembic-0.3.6-py2.7.egg/alembic/migration.py", > line 211, in run_migrations > change(**kw) > File "alembic/versions/1ba36c080bdb_.py", line 25, in upgrade > sa.Column('name', sa.Variant(length=200), nullable=True), > AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'Variant' > > Did alembic accept user defined data type?
