I should have explained something above better... The result I assumed you wanted to achieve is "creating SQL that will handle data transformations". That would allow you to write concise python that will compiled into SQL which will be evaluated on the database server. You could also use other approaches that transform data in python before hitting the database server.
IMHO, using a custom compiler approach is easier than trying to do something with `sqlalchemy.func` because it gives you more room to customize how the sql compiles under different databases. -- SQLAlchemy - The Python SQL Toolkit and Object Relational Mapper http://www.sqlalchemy.org/ To post example code, please provide an MCVE: Minimal, Complete, and Verifiable Example.
