I've added this feature to the tip for 0.8.0:
from sqlalchemy import inspect
insp = inspect(MyClass) # note this is just the Mapper, as usual
for k, v in insp.all_orm_descriptors:
if v.extension_type is associationproxy.ASSOCIATION_PROXY:
# ...
elif v.extension_type is hybrid.HYBRID_PROPERTY
# ...
# etc.
