After chat in IRC, this looks like environment issue.

Just ran into this issue. In case anyone else does, make sure your Alembic version is the latest.

Use:

./bin/python -c 'import alembic; print(alembic.__version__)'

to check your Alembic version. If it's 0.6.6, there's your problem. It should be 0.8.5 or greater. Check to make sure that git status shows a clean working directory, and see if pip freeze | grep alembic agrees with the version you got from invoking Python.
