Michael,

Thanks for the help.  In case it helps someone in the future, here's the 
final incantation for what I needed:

t = sa.Table( 'ip_entity', db, autoload=True )
s = t.alias( 'parent' )

c = sa.select( [ t.c.id, t.c.name, s.c.name.label( 'parent entity' ) ],
               from_obj = [ sa.outerjoin( t, s, t.c.parent_id == s.c.id ) ],
               order_by = [ t.c.id ] ).execute()


Thanks again,
e.
