Hi Mike,
In hindsight I might have responded prematurely - got around to trying it
and with text() I get the following:
__table_args__ = (
...
Index('folder_lower_name_idx', text('lower(name)'),
postgresql_ops={'name': 'text_pattern_ops'}),
)

Is the functional index supported even if I'm using postgresql_ops? I've
re-installed and upgraded to SQLAlchemy 0.9.4, same errors.
