A number of the parts of Django can be used independent of the ORM. Forms, template system, url management. A number of the rather handy, time-saving parts of Django rely on you using the ORM though. You could create models through the ORM, and then in your code use another ORM (like SQLalchemy), but any of the shortcuts could run into the problem that Gabe describes. I'm currently using the template system on my website without any other parts of Django. The query system (which is the problem in Gabe's case) is under going a big refactor right now by one of the core developers, and should fix a lot of these problems. Additionally, the refactor should make it much more possible to add SQLalchemy support to Django directly. -- Scott Paul Robertson http://spr.mahonri5.net GnuPG FingerPrint: 09ab 64b5 edc0 903e 93ce edb9 3bcc f8fb dc5d 7601
