there’s nothing wrong with the configuration there, the error has to do with 
the wrong kind of object being assigned to a database row, in this case the 
class-bound attribute.

So basically this:

class Site(Base):
    # …
    fk_school_id = Column(Integer, ForeignKey(…))

class School(Base):
    id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)

site = Site()
site.fk_school_id = School.id   # <— incorrect, School is a class, not an 
instance of School

session.add(site)
session.commit()


a class-bound attribute like “School.id” is an InstrumentedAttribute.  your 
intent here is to assign an integer value to fk_school_id.

But also, when using relationship() you will have an easier time if you work 
with objects rather than foreign key attributes:

some_school = School()
site.school = some_school
