flask-sqlalchemy: AttributeError: type object has no attribute 'query', works in ipython

I'm creating a new flask app using flask-sqlalchemy and flask-restful with Python 3.4. I've defined my User model as such:

from mytvpy import db
from sqlalchemy.ext.declarative import declared_attr


class BaseModel(db.Model):
    __abstract__ = True

    id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key=True)
    created = db.Column(db.TIMESTAMP, server_default=db.func.now())
    last_updated = db.Column(db.TIMESTAMP, server_default=db.func.now(), onupdate=db.func.current_timestamp())

    @declared_attr
    def __tablename__(cls):
        return cls.__name__


class User(BaseModel):

    username = db.Column(db.String(255), unique=True)
    password = db.Column(db.String(255))
    email = db.Column(db.String(255), unique=True)

    def __init__(self, username, password, email):
        super(User, self).__init__()
        self.username = username
        self.password = password
        self.email = email

If I try to query in ipython, it works:

In [15]: from mytvpy.models.base import User

In [16]: User.query.all()
Out[16]: [<mytvpy.models.base.User at 0x7fac65b1c6a0>]

But if I try to hit it from an endpoint:

class User(Resource):

    def get(self, user):
        return User.query.filter(User.username==user).scalar()

It craps out:

You have two classes named User, one extending BaseModel and one extending Resource. The latter is shadowing the former.

Change how you import/reference the model and your code should work:

from mytvpy.models import base

base.User.query.all()
