I would like to apply a condition in an outer join that matches a 
multi-item list rather than a single value.

In other words, I'm trying to get SQLAlchemy 0.8.6 connecting to PostgreSQL 
9.3.4 to generate SQL like this:



select
>     *
> from
>     mytable mt
>     left outer join myothertable mo on
>            (m0.col1, m0.col2, mo.col3) = (select m2.col1, m2.col2, m2.col3
>                                                          from myothertable 
> m2
>                                                          where mt.col1 = 
> m2.wilson_id
>                                                          order by m2.col3 
> desc
>                                                          limit 1)



When I construct my query object back in Python 2.7:
mo = aliased(myothertable)
m2 = aliased(myothertable)
mySession.query(mytable, myothertable)\
                .select_from(mytable)\
                .outerjoin(mo,
                               [mo.col1, mo.col2, mo.col3] == select(\
                               [m2.col1, m2.col2, m2.col3])\
                                   .where(m2.col1 == mytable.col1)\
                                   .order_by(m2.col3.desc())\
                                   .limit(1))


I get:

  File "build/bdist.linux-x86_64/egg/sqlalchemy/orm/query.py", line 1699, 
in outerjoin
  File "<string>", line 1, in <lambda>
  File "build/bdist.linux-x86_64/egg/sqlalchemy/orm/query.py", line 51, in 
generate
  File "build/bdist.linux-x86_64/egg/sqlalchemy/orm/query.py", line 1816, 
in _join
  File "build/bdist.linux-x86_64/egg/sqlalchemy/orm/query.py", line 1846, 
in _join_left_to_right
  File "build/bdist.linux-x86_64/egg/sqlalchemy/orm/query.py", line 1861, 
in _prepare_right_side
  File "build/bdist.linux-x86_64/egg/sqlalchemy/inspection.py", line 74, in 
inspect
*sqlalchemy.exc.NoInspectionAvailable: No inspection system is available 
for object of type <type 'bool'>*


I tried both List type and Tuple type in my comparison from the inner 
select statement.
When I look at the code where this exception is thrown, it suggests that 
something is wrong with my mapping.

I've done this join by comparing a single column with these two tables, and 
I've done similar things with other single column comparisons.  I'm not 
sure why I'm unable to compare a set of columns instead.

I've been pondering casting all three columns to string and then 
concatenating them (either in the table mapping, or in the query) to see if 
I can get back to a single value comparision which I expect to work.  I'd 
rather just compare the tuple/lists though.

I could use some hints.  If you guys have some.   Thanks!
