you're looking for a table-level check constraint with IN:
table.append_constraint(
CheckConstraint(table.c.data_type.in_('A', 'B', 'C'))
)
alternatively, just use the backend-agnostic Enum type with native=False:
http://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/latest/core/type_basics.html?highlight=enum#sqlalchemy.types.Enum
gives you the same CHECK constraint
