Thanks for the reply. When I do that, filter group ends up like: print(type(filter_group[0])) <class 'sqlalchemy.sql.elements.BinaryExpression'> print(filter_group[0]) dbo."Portfolio"."companyCode" IN (:companyCode_1, :companyCode_2, :companyCode_3) Which then fails with: sqlalchemy.orm.evaluator.UnevaluatableError: Cannot evaluate clauselist with operator <function comma_op at 0x7f632f8f3dc0> I am passing in: **{'query_params': {'companyCode': ['A', 'B', 'C']}, 'values': {'portfolioName': 'test'}} Any ideas how to get past this? -- 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.
