SQLAlchemy按功能顺序排序

Question

这是我拥有的代码，并且可以正常工作（返回按难度排序的所有问题）：

def get_noteworthy_problems(self):

    ACategory = aliased(Category)
    AProblem = aliased(Problem)

    all_prob = DBSession.query(AProblem).filter(
        AProblem.parent_id == ACategory.id,
        ACategory.parent_id == self.id)

    noteworthy_problems = \
        sorted(all_prob, key=lambda x: x.difficulty(), reverse=True)

    return noteworthy_problems

但是我认为我必须优化此代码。有可能更改具有order_by我的功能的代码difficulty()吗？我的函数返回一个数字。我尝试了类似的东西：

    result = DBSession.query(AProblem).filter(
        AProblem.parent_id == ACategory.id,
        ACategory.parent_id == self.id).order_by(
        AProblem.difficulty().desc())

但我收到错误消息TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not callable。

混合属性是既充当Python属性又充当SQL表达式的特殊方法。只要您的difficulty函数可以用SQL表示，它就可以像普通列一样用于过滤和排序。

例如，如果按照问题的鹦鹉数来计算难度，如果问题的天数超过30天，则将其乘以十，则可以使用：

from datetime import datetime, timedelta
from sqlalchemy import Column, Integer, DateTime, case
from sqlalchemy.ext.hybrid import hybrid_property

class Problem(Base):
    parrots = Column(Integer, nullable=False, default=1)
    created = Column(DateTime, nullable=False, default=datetime.utcnow)

    @hybrid_property
    def difficulty(self):
        # this getter is used when accessing the property of an instance
        if self.created <= (datetime.utcnow() - timedelta(30)):
            return self.parrots * 10

        return self.parrots

    @difficulty.expression
    def difficulty(cls):
        # this expression is used when querying the model
        return case(
            [(cls.created <= (datetime.utcnow() - timedelta(30)), cls.parrots * 10)],
            else_=cls.parrots
        )

并查询：

session.query(Problem).order_by(Problem.difficulty.desc())
