Hi,

We're considering using sqlobject in our product 
(http://www.goombah.com).

I noticed  a post from Ian Bicking at 
http://blog.ianbicking.org/sqlobject-2.html where he announces 
sqlobject 2 and says "To be quite honest, I have had a hard time 
maintaining SQLObject, and have not given it the attention it should. I 
expect I am not the only one who created something that I later found 
difficult to work with; that I myself am responsible for all the 
problems, and made all the bad decisions, makes it worse -- for every 
problem I could go and fix it, but I can't fix them all as they come in 
(or I might just be opening up other problems), and as a result I don't 
fix any. Oleg Broytmann has done a good job giving it the project the 
more consistent attention that I have not, but when you are working on 
a project written by someone else it can be hard to make certain 
changes."

That discouraged me with regard to the prospects of my company becoming 
committed to sqlobject. On the other hand, it appears that sqlobject 
0.7 is now in actual production use in TurboGears; judging by the fact 
that it's included in the TurboGears download and documentation (I 
haven't used TurboGears).

So the things I'm wondering are:

a) How stable is sqlobject 0.7?

b) Will there be a fairly easy upgrade path from 0.x to 2.0?

c) Anyone know of other projects using it (other than TurboGears-based 
projects)?

d) Any other comments about its current goodness for production use 
relative to, say, SQLAlchemy?

Many thanks in advance for any feedback.

Gary
