Column comment type #238

Description

@sdfordham

Running the SQLAlchemy inspect method on an existing MySQL server on a table with a column with an empty comment field is returning comment=None so I guess comment to be Optional[str] but mypy output complains that it needs to be str. Actually I don't know why since the repo code shows:

comment: Optional[str] = ...

Here is a MWE:

from sqlalchemy import Column
from sqlalchemy.ext.declarative import declarative_base


Base = declarative_base()


class MyTable(Base):
    id = Column('id', comment=None)

and output:
