There is no "generated code".. sqlsoup uses autoloading.
Autoloading is available outside sqlsoup too, just assign your table with
mytable = sa.Table(name, database.metadata, autoload=True)
class MyTable(object):
pass
and you bind them together with mapper(...) or assign_mapper(...) as usual.
No code generation needed. If sqlalchemy had such a feature, like
Django, I'm not sure I would like it.

Just create them under MyTable, or under a superclass of MyTable. It's
quite common to have a superclass for all or some of the domain objects,
even when it has nothing to do with table inheritance.
