Creating JSON type Column in SQLite with sqlalchemy

Question

Is it possible to create JSON type Column in SQLite with sqlalchemy? I\'ve tried

import sqlalchemy.types as types
...
myColumn = Column(types.JSON())
         


        

Answer 1

SQLAlchemy 1.3 will include support for SQLite JSON extension, so don't forget to upgrade:

pip install --user -U --pre SQLAlchemy

The dialect specific type sqlite.JSON implements JSON member access, usable through the base type types.JSON as well.
