Method op

lib/sqlalchemy/sql/operators.py:271–398

Produce a generic operator function. e.g.:: somecolumn.op("*")(5) produces:: somecolumn * 5 This function can also be used to make bitwise operators explicit. For example:: somecolumn.op("&")(0xFF) is a bitwise AND of the v

        produces::

          somecolumn * 5

        This function can also be used to make bitwise operators explicit. For
        example::

          somecolumn.op("&")(0xFF)

        is a bitwise AND of the value in ``somecolumn``.

        :param opstring: a string which will be output as the infix operator
          between this element and the expression passed to the
          generated function.

        :param precedence: precedence which the database is expected to apply
         to the operator in SQL expressions. This integer value acts as a hint
         for the SQL compiler to know when explicit parenthesis should be
         rendered around a particular operation. A lower number will cause the
         expression to be parenthesized when applied against another operator
         with higher precedence. The default value of ``0`` is lower than all
         operators except for the comma (``,``) and ``AS`` operators. A value
         of 100 will be higher or equal to all operators, and -100 will be
         lower than or equal to all operators.

            of how the SQLAlchemy SQL compiler renders parenthesis

        :param is_comparison: legacy; if True, the operator will be considered
         as a "comparison" operator, that is which evaluates to a boolean
         true/false value, like ``==``, ``>``, etc.  This flag is provided
         so that ORM relationships can establish that the operator is a
         comparison operator when used in a custom join condition.

         Using the ``is_comparison`` parameter is superseded by using the
         :meth:`.Operators.bool_op` method instead;  this more succinct
         operator sets this parameter automatically, but also provides
         correct :pep:`484` typing support as the returned object will
