I have a situation similar to 
http://www.sqlalchemy.org/docs/05/mappers.html#advdatamapping_mapper_inheritance_single
with the exception that I have about 50 different types, but only one of 
them I want to subclass. So I was wondering id there was some option to 
polymorphic_identity to give it a list of values.

Currently what I do is I map the subclass against a query:
sql_file_node = select ([nodehierarchy_table], 
asset_table.c.type=='file').alias ('file_node_query')
mapper(Node, nodehierarchy_table .....)
mapper(FileNode, sql_file_node......)

what I would like to do:
node_mapper = mapper(Node, nodehierarchy_table, 
polymorphic_on=nodehierarchy_table.c.type, ....)
mapper(FileNode, inherits=node_mapper, 
polymorphic_on=asset_table.c.type, polymorphic_identity='file' ....)

However when I do this, SA complains that there "AssertionError: No such 
polymorphic_identity '<any other type>' is defined"


To complicate matters slightely this is a self referential table, 
http://www.sqlalchemy.org/trac/browser/sqlalchemy/trunk/examples/adjacencytree/basic_tree.py

This isn't a huge problem because I could continue to use SA the way I 
currently am.
