You haven't created a relationship() between Vehicle and Dealer, which
reduces your options a little bit. This should work:
session.query(Vehicle).join(Dealer, Vehicle.supplying_dealer == Dealer.id)
ie. you need to be explicit about the class you are joining to, and
the join condition. The join condition is necessary because you have 2
foreign keys between Vehicle and Dealer.
You might want to consider creating relationships between the two
classes, something like this:
class Vehicle(Base):
__tablename__ = 'vehicles'
registration = Column(String(10), primary_key=True, nullable=False)
# note that I've renamed these columns
supplying_dealer_id = Column(String(64),
ForeignKey(u'dealers.id'), nullable=False)
servicing_dealer_id = Column(String(64),
ForeignKey(u'dealers.id'), nullable=False)
supplying_dealer = relationship(Dealer, supplying_dealer_id == Dealer.id)
servicing_dealer = relationship(Dealer, servicing_dealer_id == Dealer.id)
With those relationships in place, either of these joins should work:
session.query(Vehicle).join("supplying_dealer")
session.query(Vehicle).join(Vehicle.supplying_dealer)
Hope that helps,
