I think what we’re really looking at are two tuples, so might as well use that:

>>> from sqlalchemy import create_engine, tuple_, select
>>> import datetime
>>> e = create_engine("postgresql://scott:tiger@localhost/test", echo=True)
>>> s = select([
...           tuple_(datetime.date(2001, 2, 6), datetime.date(2001, 12, 
21)).op('overlaps')(
...                tuple_(datetime.date(2001, 10, 30), datetime.date(2002, 10, 
30)))
...          ])
>>> e.scalar(s)
2013-12-18 11:30:05,232 INFO sqlalchemy.engine.base.Engine SELECT (%(param_1)s, 
%(param_2)s) overlaps (%(param_3)s, %(param_4)s) AS anon_1
2013-12-18 11:30:05,232 INFO sqlalchemy.engine.base.Engine {'param_4': 
datetime.date(2002, 10, 30), 'param_1': datetime.date(2001, 2, 6), 'param_3': 
datetime.date(2001, 10, 30), 'param_2': datetime.date(2001, 12, 21)}
True
