I am converting an existing schema into the sqlalchemy database description metadata format. Is there a sqlalchemy type for the SQL array type?

CREATE TABLE sal_emp (
    name            text,
    pay_by_quarter  integer[],
    schedule        text[][]
);


as described here: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8/interactive/ arrays.html

I could find nothing in the documentation regarding this. My guess is that I could support this by subclassing types.TypeDecorator, and adding pre- and post-processing of query parameters (http:// www.sqlalchemy.org/docs/types.myt#types_custom) to convert a python list to and from a string, for example. (I would probably have to use 'eval()' on the way out of the db, though.)

Thanks,
Dimi
