Indeed, most projects seem to work with the new SQLAlchemy. Though heat
fails with a python crash dump:

  File
"/home/zigo/sources/openstack/grizzly/heat/build-area/heat-2013.1.2/heat/db/sqlalchemy/models.py",
line 32, in <module>
    class Json(types.TypeDecorator, types.MutableType):
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'MutableType'

Indeed, MutableType is gone in SQLAlchemy >= 0.8. I'm therefore unsure
what to do to fix the heat package in Sid... :(
Any help would be appreciated.

There's also a big problem with Cinder:

  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/migrate/versioning/schema.py",
line 91, in runchange
    change.run(self.engine, step)
  File
"/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/migrate/versioning/script/py.py", line
145, in run
    script_func(engine)
  File
"/root/src/cinder/build-area/cinder-2013.1.2/cinder/db/sqlalchemy/migrate_repo/versions/002_quota_class.py",
line 42, in upgrade
    _warn_on_bytestring=False),
TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'assert_unicode'

Unit tests aren't run at all, and cinder refuses to install (because I'm
doing the db_sync in the postinst, which fails).

Help there would also be appreciated.

AFAICT, these are the only packages affected by the SQLAlchemy upgrade.
