I came to python from PHP, where I used Kohana and Autumn feels like
home to me, lol. It's pretty much an unintentional port of Kohana's
ORM. I liked how fluid Autumn is. It feels very natural.
Things I dislike about other ORMS that make Autumn home-y:
* Implicit creation of rows (SQLObject)
* Cumbersome queries (SQLAlchemy)
* Too much work for something that doesn't auto-migrate (Storm)
Things I liked about Autumn:
* Short learning curve. Sets up quickly with an existing database.
* Explicit inserts/updates.
Things I'd like to see implemented (in order of importance):
* Support for PostgreSql.
* Tie in some kind of form validation (not form generating, however)
* Optional static fields (to begin implementing automatic migration,
set through some kind of flag off by default)
* Optional implicit alter/create (VERY IMPORTANT THAT IT IS OPTIONAL
AND OFF BY DEFAULT)
