How to replace Django ORM with sqlalchemy

[Chen Xu]

I am planning to replace Django's ORM with sqlalchemy, does anyone know any good tutorials step by step or github repo that show you how to do it?

Thanks

The maintainers of django have discussed this question.  They all believe that it would be almost impossible to do.  The two ORMs operate differently, so that there would not be a simple "replace operation A with operation B" type of conversion.  The present ORM is too deeply embedded to be replaced.  Sorry.

This is all true. 

However, it's important to remember that Django code is also just Python code, so if you want to use SQLAlchemy in a Django project, you can Just Use It. You won't get any deep integration with the database layer (for example, ModelForms won't work), and you won't be able to exploit the rich community of third-party Django libraries and apps, but you will be able to access your database using SQLAlchemy.
