I know that, but well, you see, there lies the problem - I DON'T want... I love the DAL too much - wouldn't change it for anything! :) (not even SQLA-Core...;) ) I even considered using web2py's DAL outside of web2py as well - in all the plug-ins I plan to write for desktop-applications. It's an amazing and elegant piece of software! Besides, it's not feasible for us anymore anyways, as I said, we already have thousands of lines of code built using the DAL - switching it to something else would be a nightmare, and way too costly. we have DAL-based code more than any other python code - hell, we would be switching a web-framework before we consider replacing the DAL... :) All I want is a decent ORM on-top to structure all that wonderful DAL code we have into... But it has to be statefull to be worth-it, so I couldn't write my own, and SQLA-ORM is the best ORM in python I currently know of... I am looking at Storm also, but it currently seems to be less-modular that SQLA... That's from just a glance, though... -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
