Hello.
First of all I'd like to apologize if this is not the right group to 
post this.

I have a portion of the code that gives me an error, while I think it 
shouldn't. I'm trying to construct string for eval function that will 
return a variable with value of or_ sqlalchemy parameter. I'm not really 
sure if what I'm trying to achieve should be done differently. I have a 
friends_list which is basically list of Friend records. I want to select 
Posts like it's shown below.

Unfortunately eval(evalstr) gives me syntax error. The error is on 
eval(evalstr) function which states *<type 'exceptions.SyntaxError'>: 
invalid syntax (<string>, line 1)*. I think this is because of 
model.Post.account.id, so or_() cannot follow the relation Post.account. 
I couldn't think of a better idea for this and quite frankly I'm not an 
sql expert, so please forgive if I'm asking stupid questions.

Is it a bug in elixir or am I doing something wrong? If there's a way 
for doing this in pure sql, could someone please tell me how can this be 
achieved? I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanks a lot.
Karol Tomala
