I personally like sqlalchemy - http://www.sqlalchemy.org/. Some of the good things: 1. Table reflection, i.e. dynamic generation of mapped python classes - great at development time - no mismatch between db and client side code. 2. Easily extensible - about 10 lines of code gives you an interface to Geos geometries retrieved from PostGIS 3. It seems to be possible to produce arbitrarily complex sql statements. OK, they're usually less readable than sql, but for dynamic query generation it definitely beats manually chopping up text.
