So I had a query in raw PostgreSQL which was trying to find the start and 
end of an event in 
a history table:

select jh.job_id, jh.created as start_t, jh.status, min(jh.created)
                         over (PARTITION by jh.job_id
                               ORDER BY jh.created 
                               ROWS BETWEEN 1 FOLLOWING and 3 FOLLOWING
                               ) as end_t
       from job_histories jh, jobs j, tasks t
      where jh.status in ('running: copying files in', 'running','Running')
        and jh.job_id = j.job_id
        and j.task_id = t.task_id
        and t.campaign_id = 704

When trying to render this in SQLAlchemy,  as in

dbhandle.query(JobHistory.job_id.label('job_id'),
                                 JobHistory.created.label('start_t'),
                                 JobHistory.status.label('status'),
                                
 func.max(JobHistory.created).over(partition_by = JobHistory.job_id,
                                                                  
 order_by=JobHistory.created,
                                                                  
 rows=(1,3)
                                                                  
 ).label('end_t'))
                        .join(Job)
                        .join(Task)
                        
.filter(JobHistory.status.in_([copy_start_status,'running','Running']))
                        .filter(JobHistory.job_id == Job.job_id)
                        .filter(Job.task_id == Task.task_id)
                        .filter(Task.campaign_id == campaign_id)


I find I cannot ask for "BETWEEN 1 FOLLOWING and 3 FOLLOWING",  becuase the 
code insists the first part of 
the range must be none, zero or negative, and the second  part must be 
none, zero, or positive. -- thus
I seem to always have to give a range that spans the current item -- the 
start of the range has to always be before 
the current row (or equal to it) and the end of the range has to always be 
at or after the current row. 

Why the sign restrictions?!?
