Inte helt säker på varför, men det verkar fungera när du väl har skapat en anslutning och kört COMMIT
:
In [8]: conn = engine.connect()
In [9]: conn.execute("COMMENT ON SCHEMA myschema IS 'Seemly Random Description'")
Out[9]: <sqlalchemy.engine.result.ResultProxy at 0x7fd109991cd0>
In [10]: conn.execute("COMMIT;")
Out[10]: <sqlalchemy.engine.result.ResultProxy at 0x7fd0ff3b7d10>
postgres=# \dn+
