Oh crap. I understand. I was trying to do this:
query = select( func.distinct( columns ) ) and not query = distinct( columns ) i got thrown off, because the postgres tool is more like a function than an query , and there's also the .distinct() method you can toss onto a query; almost like a function i just realized that in sqlalchemy: select == "SELECT" distinct == "SELECT DISTINCT" -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sqlalchemy" group.
