Many users asked to switch from SQLObject to SQLAlchemy.
Ah!  You puny humans with such low-level dreams! ;-)

Ok... now that I've insulted my user-base, I've an announce:
in the last 2 days I played with SQLAlchemy, without any serious
intentions, but... surprise!  It's not that difficult.
And there's more: my plan is to support BOTH SQLObject and SQLAlchemy :-)

I have a (mostly) working prototype: to limit the changes in the
current code I've introduced an adapter to make SQLAlchemy
behave like SQLObject (limited to our needs: a complete adapter
is beyond my scope and won't be really useful).
There's a little more black magic than I like, but lets call
the code "clever" and not "a freaking mess", please. :-)

Performances seems fine (for both inserting and reading), and
I think I'll be ready to commit the first version to the CVS
within the week.

The problem is that I know next to nothing of the SQLAlchemy
internals, and many things make me wonder... so the code will
be full of XXX/TODO/FIXME/BLAMEITONSOCIETY notices.
If someone with a little SQLAlchemy experience wants to help...


Stay tuned,
