one concrete example, coming up. this function is a widely used "distance
calculation" function that can be found all over google. the last line is the
execute.
from sqlalchemy import func, create_engine
engine = create_engine("postgresql://scott:tiger@localhost/test", echo=True)
engine.execute(
"""
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION calc_distance(lat_1 float, lon_1 float,
lat_2 float, lon_2 float) RETURNS float AS $$

cos(lat_1 / 57.2958) * cos(lat_2 / 57.2958) * cos((lon_2 / 57.2958) - (lon_1 /
57.2958)));
END;

""")
print "Sample distance:", engine.execute(func.calc_distance(32.9697, -96.80322,
29.46786, -98.53506)).scalar()
