2. Create a new branch

Create a new branch in your repo by using git checkout --orphan assets

	def get_count(q):
	count_q = q.statement.with_only_columns([func.count()]).order_by(None)
	count = q.session.execute(count_q).scalar()
	return count

	q = session.query(TestModel).filter(...).order_by(...)

	# Slow: SELECT COUNT(*) FROM (SELECT ... FROM TestModel WHERE ...) ...
	print q.count()

	# -- coding: utf-8 --

	import unicodedata

	""" Normalise (normalize) unicode data in Python to remove umlauts, accents etc. """

	normal = unicodedata.normalize('NFKD', data).encode('ASCII', 'ignore')
