    ScalarListType type provides convenient way for saving multiple scalar
    values in one column. ScalarListType works like list on python side and
    saves the result as comma-separated list in the database (custom separators
    can also be used).

    Example ::


        from sqlalchemy_utils import ScalarListType


        class User(Base):
            __tablename__ = 'user'
            id = sa.Column(sa.Integer, autoincrement=True)
            hobbies = sa.Column(ScalarListType())


        user = User()
        user.hobbies = ['football', 'ice_hockey']
        session.commit()


    You can easily set up integer lists too:

    ::


        from sqlalchemy_utils import ScalarListType


        class Player(Base):
            __tablename__ = 'player'
            id = sa.Column(sa.Integer, autoincrement=True)
            points = sa.Column(ScalarListType(int))


        player = Player()
        player.points = [11, 12, 8, 80]
        session.commit()


    ScalarListType is always stored as text. To use an array field on
    PostgreSQL database use variant construct::

        from sqlalchemy_utils import ScalarListType


        class Player(Base):
            __tablename__ = 'player'
            id = sa.Column(sa.Integer, autoincrement=True)
            points = sa.Column(
                ARRAY(Integer).with_variant(ScalarListType(int), 'sqlite')
            )

            if any(self.separator in str(item) for item in value):

                    'these strings, use a different separator string.)' % self.separator
                )
            return self.separator.join(map(str, value))
