Hi,

i m a developer with some experience in python and django - a
framework i realy like. However, i just read the sqlalchemy docu and i
think the orm seems to be really professional.

Is sqlalchemy the most prominent orm for python? Is it suitable to
write larger enterprise applications? Are there any drawbacks to
sqlalchemy? Are there any other big orm projects for python, which one
should have a look at?

Sorry for asking this kind of "general questions". But im looking for
some decission hints ...
Dan

You have already seen the Django ORM, then there's SQLAlchemy, Storm and
SQLObject that are probably work a look.

cheers,

I'm a developer working on web based database applications for use in
corporate environment. I have some experience on django too.

I'm now currently useing Turbogears 2 framework and TG drop sqlobject
orm for sa on tg version 2.x.

sqlalchemy is one of the biggest reasons for me to use turbogears2 and
stop using django.

Maybe this'll give you a hint.
