- [ ] A documentation / typographical error fix
- Good to go, no issue or tests are needed
- [ ] A short code fix
- - [ ] I have filed [a bug report](https://github.com/sqlalchemy/sqlalchemy/issues) which includes a complete [MCVE](http://stackoverflow.com/help/mcve) illustrating in simple code form the expected behavior and how the library deviates from it. This is necessary **no matter how obvious the problem and/or fix is**, because this is how we track the issue being repaired for users that need to know about it, as well as where the correct fix can be agreed upon - the problem you are fixing is more often than not more complicated than it seems.
+ - [ ] There is a bug report already, or I have filed [a bug report](https://github.com/sqlalchemy/sqlalchemy/issues) which includes a test case ([MCVE](http://stackoverflow.com/help/mcve)) illustrating in simple code form the expected behavior and how the library deviates from it.
- [ ] My git commit includes a `Fixes: #<issue number>` comment with the above bug report number
- [ ] My code fix includes a unit test, which is typically based on the MCVE I did above
- [ ] I then **ran the tests**, using the instructions at [README.unittests.rst](https://github.com/sqlalchemy/sqlalchemy/blob/master/README.unittests.rst)
- [ ] I don't know how to write a test for this. In which case please FILE A BUG ONLY.

- [ ] A new feature implementation
- - [ ] I have filed [a bug report](https://github.com/sqlalchemy/sqlalchemy/issues) which includes a complete description of the new behavior, including an a Python code example that illustrates how the feature would work.

<!-- Note that **we do not accept one-liner code fix pull requests with no tests**. Code that is not tested is itself **a bug**. We will help you fix any problem you have, as long as you produce [issue reports](https://github.com/sqlalchemy/sqlalchemy/issues) that include code samples, stack traces, and most preferably complete standalone test cases. -->
