How to print all columns in SQLAlchemy ORM

Question

Using SQLAlchemy, I am trying to print out all of the attributes of each model that I have in a manner similar to:

SELECT * from table;

How

Answer 1

Probably the shortest solution (see the recent documentation):

from sqlalchemy.inspection import inspect
columns = [column.name for column in inspect(model).c]

The last line might look more readable, if rewrite it in three lines:

table = inspect(model)
for column in table.c:
    print column.name
