python sqlalchemy label usage

Question

I know I can use the label method for alias, but I can't figure out how to use the labeled element later in the query - something like the following:

session.query(Foo.bar.label("foobar")).filter(foobar > 10).all()

Of course, this doesn't work since there is no variable called foobar. How could this be accomplished?

(The over simplified example was just for easy comprehension...)

Answer 1

Offhand, I believe you can use the labeled column itself as an expression:

foobar = Foo.bar.label("foobar")
session.query(foobar).filter(foobar > 10).all()
