SQLObject is an Object relational mapper, that is link a relation db to python objects, bigtable is an object db. therefore you will be going from object to relations to objects which makes little sense.
IMO, the Bigtable engine makes things like SQLObject and SQLAlchemy irrelevant in google's storage as their purpose is to easy the transition of the joins, and tables, in Bigtable you can have list attributes as a buildin type and the queries are so simple you really don't need an ORM. If something is to be implemented in appengine is a SQLObject-like interface where you can manipulate objects and their changes become permanent on the storage. Which IMO will be better to just start from scratch as SO depends way too much on the relational patterns. > Just a thought, > Daniel > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference > Don't miss this year's exciting event.
