def __init__(self, element, operator, negate):

overrides sqlalchemy.sql.elements.UnaryExpression.__init__

Undocumented

def _negate(self):

overrides sqlalchemy.sql.elements.UnaryExpression._negate

Undocumented

def self_group(self, against=None):

overrides sqlalchemy.sql.elements.UnaryExpression.self_group

Apply a 'grouping' to this _expression.ClauseElement.

This method is overridden by subclasses to return a "grouping" construct, i.e. parenthesis. In particular it's used by "binary" expressions to provide a grouping around themselves when placed into a larger expression, as well as by _expression.select constructs when placed into the FROM clause of another _expression.select. (Note that subqueries should be normally created using the _expression.Select.alias method, as many platforms require nested SELECT statements to be named).

As expressions are composed together, the application of self_group is automatic - end-user code should never need to use this method directly. Note that SQLAlchemy's clause constructs take operator precedence into account - so parenthesis might not be needed, for example, in an expression like x OR (y AND z) - AND takes precedence over OR.

The base self_group method of _expression.ClauseElement just returns self.

inherit_cache: bool =

overrides sqlalchemy.sql.traversals.HasCacheKey.inherit_cache

Indicate if this .HasCacheKey instance should make use of the cache key generation scheme used by its immediate superclass.

The attribute defaults to None, which indicates that a construct has not yet taken into account whether or not its appropriate for it to participate in caching; this is functionally equivalent to setting the value to False, except that a warning is also emitted.

This flag can be set to True on a particular class, if the SQL that corresponds to the object does not change based on attributes which are local to this class, and not its superclass.
