Before anyone gets to excited, I'm going to state up front that I have *not* replaced django's ORM.
But I do have a small project that gives proof of concept for automatically integrating SQL Alchemy ORM into the Django ORM. I've been kicking the idea around for a bit, and after going through the code I felt it was fairly hopeless to actually try and replace the entire Django ORM with an sqlalchemy back end. Major key points: (remember this is PoC so suggestions are indeed welcome) SA = SQLAlchemy 1. SA creates its Table objects using reflection 2. SA ORM classes are dynamically created 3. SA ORM classes are directly importable via tranquil.models.* 4. I haven't got the ability to fully configure the setup of SA tables, ORM classes, and mappers yet. This is planned, but I felt like it wasn't important for PoC 5. Currently, SA reflection happens every time the server starts. Obviously, caching this is on the ToDo list 6. All of this is provided by an external app with no patches to Django itself. Project Page: http://code.google.com/p/tranquil/ Example views.py: http://tranquil.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/proj_name/app_name/views.py Basic usage: Assuming tranquil is in the installed apps, just do: from tranquil.models.app_name import ModelName ModelName is the SQLAlchemy ORM object which means its pure SQLAlchemy from there. Any feedback is welcome. If there's enough interest I'll move forward with filling out the corners.
