SQLAlchemy Error Table not found

I am new to using sqlAlchemy and i keep getting this error when i try inserting a data entry. Please tell me what i am doing wrong.

test.py code:

import sys
import sqlalchemy
from sqlalchemy.orm import sessionmaker
from sqlalchemy import Column,ForeignKey,Integer,String
from sqlalchemy.ext.declarative import declarative_base
from sqlalchemy.orm import relationship
from sqlalchemy import create_engine


engine = create_engine('sqlite:///restaurantmenu.db')
Base = declarative_base()


class Restaurant(Base):
   __tablename__ = "restaurant"
    name = Column(String(80),nullable=False)
    id = Column(Integer,primary_key=True)


class MenuItem(Base):
    __tablename__ = 'menu_item'
    name = Column(String(80),nullable=False)
    id = Column(Integer,primary_key = True)
    course = Column(String(250))
    description = Column(String(250))
    price = Column(String(9))
    restaurant_id = Column(Integer,ForeignKey('restaurant.id'))
    restaurant = relationship(Restaurant)
Base.metadata.create_all(engine)

accessDatabase.py code

import sys
from sqlalchemy.orm import sessionmaker
from sqlalchemy import create_engine
from test import Base,Restaurant,MenuItem

engine = create_engine('sqlite:///restaurantmenu.db')
Base.metadata.bind = engine
DBSession = sessionmaker(bind=engine,autoflush=False)
session = DBSession()
MyFirstRestaurant = Restaurant(name = "Pizza Palace")
session.add(MyFirstRestaurant)
session.commit()
session.query(Restaurant).all()

the problem occurs when I run accessDatabase.py and at the line session.commit

error here:

   sqlalchemy.exc.OperationalError: 
    (raised as a result of Query-invoked autoflush; consider using a session.no_autoflush block 
if this flush is occurring prematurely) 
(sqlite3.OperationalError) no such table: restaurant [SQL: 'INSERT INTO restaurant (name) VALUES (?)'] [parameters: ('Pizza Palace',)]

It's all a stupid mistake. Initializing the engine before creating table was the culprit. After I shifted those two lines of code at the bottom of the file. It ran finally. Engine and setting metadata should be done after creating the tables.

Please, run the test.py code once to create the database schema with all the tables and the metadata and then proceed to run the accessDatabase.pycode I got the following result when i did that

Base.metadata.create_all(engine) this will create not only the schema but all the objects , relations , attributes
