How to create ENUM in SQLAlchemy?

Question

from sqlalchemy import *
from migrate import *

meta = MetaData()
race_enums = (\'asian\',\'mideastern\',\'black\',\'nativeamerican\',\'indian\',\'pacific\',\'hispanic\'         


        

Answer 1

You need pass race_enum as an argument for Enum, not Column

You can either pass in your tuple as whole

Column('race', Enum('asian','mideastern','black','nativeamerican','indian','pacific','hispanic','white','other'))

or use * to unpack race_enums:

Column('race', Enum(*race_enums))
