sqla.SQLAlchemyTarget.exist() won't work with SqlAlchemy 2.x version

[jon-alamo]

Description

It seems sqla.py module is using old SqlAlchemy select interface in: https://github.com/spotify/luigi/blob/25d179b70cbfaf8d78f6cee6c153fcf098babeec/luigi/contrib/sqla.py#L242

which seems to be incompatible with SqlAlchemy 2.x according to: https://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/20/changelog/migration_14.html#change-5284

---

Details

Python version: 3.10.11

Package versions:

luigi==3.5.0
SQLAlchemy==2.0.27

Snippet to reproduce:

from luigi import build
from luigi.contrib.sqla import CopyToTable
from sqlalchemy import create_engine

engine = create_engine('sqlite:///test.db')

class TaskCopy(CopyToTable):
    connection_string = 'sqlite:///test.db'
    table = 'my_table'

if __name__ == '__main__':
    build([TaskCopy()], local_scheduler=True)

Error:

sqlalchemy.exc.ArgumentError: Column expression, FROM clause, or other columns clause element expected, got [Table('table_updates', MetaData(), Column('update_id', String(length=128), table=<table_updates>, primary_key=True, nullable=False), Column('target_table', String(length=128), table=<table_updates>), Column('inserted', DateTime(), table=<table_updates>, default=ScalarElementColumnDefault(datetime.datetime(2024, 2, 16, 11, 39, 6, 28774))), schema=None)]. Did you mean to say select(Table('table_updates', MetaData(), Column('update_id', String(length=128), table=<table_updates>, primary_key=True, nullable=False), Column('target_table', String(length=128), table=<table_updates>), Column('inserted', DateTime(), table=<table_updates>, default=ScalarElementColumnDefault(datetime.datetime(2024, 2, 16, 11, 39, 6, 28774))), schema=None))?

What version of sqlalchemy should be installed for Luigi 3.5?
