sqlalchemy.ext.compiler compiles Example Code

compiles is a callable within the sqlalchemy.ext.compiler module of the SQLAlchemy project.

Example 1 from alembic

Alembic (project documentation and PyPI page) is a data migrations tool used with SQLAlchemy to make database schema changes. The Alembic project is open sourced under the MIT license.

Example 4 from sqlalchemy-utils

sqlalchemy-utils (project documentation and PyPI package information) is a code library with various helper functions and new data types that make it easier to use SQLAlchemy when building projects that involve more specific storage requirements such as currency. The wide array of data types includes ranged values and aggregated attributes.
