Let's say that you want to have a model that will include an email address, it would me something like this:
email = models.EmailField(xxxx) By having that said in the model, you can inherit that into a form that will automatically verify whether the data you are trying to enter is a valid email address whereas SQLAlchemy is just an ORM, SQLAlchemy is just an ORM (well, ORM is just one part of what it really is) and it is probably the most powerful ORM in the market now. You can do very complex data handling and exchange with a very stable persistence layer that will give you a lot of power This is a huge topic and those differences must be studied. Whether you want a fully capable web framework or if your data processing is very complex is up to you, your app and your skills Hope that helps Juan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
