records python3 is not compatible with new sqlalchemy release 1.4.0

I am getting the following error when trying to parse the results of a query. Digging into this more, this seems to be an issue with compatibility with the new sqlalchemy that was released this week (March 14, 2021).

There doesn’t appear to be any version restrictions defined in the setup.py which allows things like pip to grab the newer 1.4.0 release which is not usable.

The easiest fix would be to update the setup.py to ensure sqlalchemy < 1.4 is used.

Example code:

db_reader = records.Database(DB_URL)
rows = db_reader.query(SQL, fetchall=True, **kwargs)
row_dict = {key: check_type(value) for (key, value) in dict(rows[0]).items()}

Example error:

AttributeError: 'RMKeyView' object has no attribute 'index'

This is thrown from the following line. https://github.com/kenreitz42/records/blob/c23f5770127826665402e17ab4e115127b5489c5/records.py#L54

Seems like the sqlalchemy 1.4.0 changes some interfaces. When I reverted to sqlalchemy 1.3.23, it appears to work again.

I have the same problem. Im using flask-sqlalchemy==2.4.3 in requirements.txt. I didn’t pinned the version of sqlalchemy. And Flask-sqlalchemy pinned the sqlalchemy with >=1.2 in prod(at 20210208 published):

pip freeze | grep 'SQLAlchemy'
SQLAlchemy==1.3.23

in prod(at 20210324 published):

pip freeze | grep 'SQLAlchemy'
SQLAlchemy==1.4.2

---

Temporary solutions is pinned sqlalchemy：

SQLAlchemy==1.3.23

Perhaps this is a regression on the part of sqlalchemy, they released a patched 1.4.1 today that fixed many regressions but this still seems to be an issue even when using 1.4.1
