resolved
I tried to run the example code from the ORM tutorial, to be precise it was the code from
This failed saying "NameError: name 'Column' is not defined". I could run the example after doing

each code sample in the tutorial builds upon the program state built up by the previous one. in this case the import for
Column
etc. is here:http://www.sqlalchemy.org/docs/05/ormtutorial.html#define-and-create-a-table
the file can be executed fully via the doctest script in doc/build/testdocs.py.
while we could do the easy thing and say "from sqlalchemy import *" or have everything run off of "import sqlalchemy as sa", there hasn't been any push in that direction.
