The brief code is like this:

    class Word(Base):
        __tablename__ = 'word'
        eng                 = Column(String(32),primary_key=True)
        chinese             = Column(String(128))

word = Word(eng='art',chinese=[u'艺术',u'美术'])
session.add(word)
session.commit()

I'm trying to store word.chinese as a string. And in python it's a list... Well, when I write sql myself I could str(word.chinese) and then insert into the database. When need to get it, I could simply eval(result) to get the original python object. But since I'm using the sqlalchemy to store my objects, I wonder where to change to reach my goal...

This is an old question that deserves newer answers.

As of the year 2022, you can use MutableList from sqlalchemy, as shown in this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/64356997/2719980
