Question

I have a very simple table(mapped as AuthToken class), consisting of a string (‘token’), and a userid (foreign key to another table), with ‘user’ as relation ( = class User)

session.query(AuthToken.user).one() gives back the token, and the userid (as a tuple), but not the user object.

Does anybody know why?

thanks!

You should query mapped classes, not their attributes, if you want to receive objects.

token = Session.query(AuthToken).options(eagerload('user')).filter(...).one()
user = token.user
