Print a literal SQLAlchemy statement

print_sql.py

print(str(select.compile(engine, compile_kwargs={'literal_binds': True}))

This is only useful for testing select statements if, for instance, it's difficult to connect to a database in your development environment. Under no circumstances should you use this in production as you're opening yourself to SQL injection attacks one of the things binding protects against. Here we're directing sqlalchemy to literally bind values during statement compilation.
