Its not clear what SQL you'd be looking for when you say
from_statement().subquery(). Anything can be in text(), so SQLA can't
generically select from it - theres no SQL parser so it doesn't know what
columns would be present inside of it to attach to the .c. collection on an
Alias object.
Typically its better to not use pure text(), if you're looking to have a .c.
collection, and to just put your string based stuff in the WHERE clause of a
select() which is usually where the elaborate stuff is, that is
select().where("string stuff") or query.filter("string stuff"). select() is a
little more open ended than Query here in that you can send strings to
select_from() and others too.
from sqlalchemy import *
s = select(["a", "b"]).select_from("hoho").where("x=5")
print s
print select([s.c.a, s.c.b])
SELECT a, b
FROM hoho
WHERE x=5
SELECT a, b
FROM (SELECT a, b
FROM hoho
WHERE x=5)
