filtering on a range of values in a db column with sqlalchemy orm - postgresql

Question

I have a postgresql database and in one particular table, with many rows. One column in this table, called data, is a float array, REAL[], and gets filled with an array of ~4500 elements. I want to access this table through some query via SQLAlchemy and the ORM.
How do I select all rows in the table where a subset of this column satisfies some condition, e.g.contains a range of values? Like I want to select all rows where the data contains values >= 10, or values between >=10 and <=20.
Can I do this with a straight session query like
rows = session.query(Table).filter(Table.data.(some conditional)).all()
where my conditional is something like "VALUES >= 10 and VALUES <= 20"?
Or do I need to define some special methods, or setup, when I'm defining my SQLAlchemy table class. For example, I have my table set up as
class Table(Base):
__tablename__ = 'table'
__table_args__ = {'autoload' : True, 'schema' : 'testdb', 'extend_existing':True}
data = deferred(Column(ARRAY(Float)))
def __repr__(self):
return '<Table (pk={0})>'.format(self.pk)
Ideally I'd like to set it up so I can just do simple filtering in my session.query calls. Is this possible? I'm not super familiar with the ORM, so maybe it is?
I've had a look at the ARRAY Comparator sqlalchemy docs but those only seem to work on exact values. My data is precise to 6 sigfigs, and I don't know the exact values ahead of time.
What's the best way to do this? Thanks.
EDIT:
Based on the below comment, here is the code I'm using in attempting to select all rows (out of 1000) that have data (from 1 column) >= 1.0. There should be 537 rows.
rows = session.query(datadb.Table).filter(datadb.Table.data.any(1.0,operator=operators.le)).all()
This gives the correct subset number. len(rows) = 537. However, I don't understand the logic of with this operator, where to select data >=1.0 , I use the le operator? Also, along those same lines, there should be 234 rows that have data between the values >=1.0 and <1.0, but this statement fails to give the correct subset..
rows = session.query(datadb.Table).filter(datadb.Table.data.any(1.0,operator=operators.le)).filter(datadb.Table.data.any(1.2,operator=operators.ge)).all()

Here's an example of my database Table with a few rows. pk is an integer, and data is a real[].
db datadb
schema Table
pk data
0 [0.0,0.0,0.5,0.3,1.3,1.9,0.3,0.0,0.0]
1 [0.1,0.0,1.0,0.7,1.1,1.5,1.2,0.3,1.4]
2 [0.0,0.6,0.4,0.3,1.6,1.7,0.4,1.3,0.0]
3 [0.0,0.1,0.2,0.4,1.0,1.1,1.2,0.9,0.0]
4 [0.0,0.0,0.5,0.3,0.2,0.1,0.7,0.3,0.1]
I have 5 rows, 4 of them have data with values >= 1.0, while just 2 have values in the range >= 1.0 and <= 1.2. The query I would do to grab the rows is in the first case
rows = session.query(datadb.Table).filter(datadb.Table.data.any(1.0,operator=operators.le)).all()
This should return the 4 rows, at pk=0,1,2,3. This query does what I expect. The second case
rows = session.query(datadb.Table).filter(datadb.Table.data.any(1.0,operator=operators.le)).filter(datadb.Table.data.any(1.2,operator=operators.ge)).all()
and should return the 2 rows at pk=1,3. However this query just returns the 4 rows from the first query. For the second query, I also tried
rows = session.query(datadb.Table).filter(datadb.Table.data.any(1.0,operator=operators.le),datadb.Table.data.any(1.2,operator=operators.ge)).all()
which also didn't work.

Please read documentation on ARRAY.Comparator, according to which you should be able to do the following:
rows = (session.query(Table)
.filter(Table.data.any(10, operator=operators.le))
.filter(Table.data.any(20, operator=operators.ge)
).all()
EDIT:
# combined filter does not work,
# but applying one or the other is still useful as it reduces the result set
q = (session.query(MyTable)
.filter(MyTable.data.any(1.0, operator=operators.le))
# .filter(MyTable.data.any(1.2, operator=operators.ge))
)
# filter in memory
items = [_row for _row in q.all()
if any(1.0 <= item <= 1.2 for item in _row.data)]
for item in items:
print(item)
