X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2ddef1e4bd1b97f091038b782ee1de5fce0b1385;p=thirdparty%2Fsqlalchemy%2Falembic.git

Fix rendering of Column objects in dialect kwargs like postgresql_inc…

Fixed rendering of dialect keyword arguments containing
:class:`~sqlalchemy.schema.Column` objects within sequences, such as
``postgresql_include``.  These were previously rendered using ``repr()``,
producing invalid Python in the generated migration scripts.  Column
objects within list or tuple values are now correctly rendered as their
string column names.  Pull request courtesy Ajay Singh.

Fixes: #1258
Closes: #1802
