to do so, you can specify with_polymorphic:

Ahh, thank you very much Michael that does do exactly what I want. So many
times in SQLAlchemy I have been rummaging and hacking for days and then
there's a simple one liner that does exactly what I was after all along :)
One problem remains though. I use a Query.from_self() which seems to cause
SA to forget about the with_polymorphic setting I have given in
mapper_args. If I try to remind it, by explicitly saying
my_query.with_polymorphic("*") I get errors like this:
> Query.with_polymorphic() being called on a Query with existing criterion.
Which seems to be related in some way to having a .distinct or .order_by
clause in the query. Is this expected/understood?
Thank you so much for your help!
All the best,
Philip
