Hi Paul,

last time we talked about sqlalchemy inclusion, I couldn't get the tests
working on my system.  We never figured out what the problem was, but we
should make sure that that problem doesn't pop up.

I'm -1 on *requiring* sqlalchemy, in any case: each dependency is a real
installation burden on people, especially while the packaging situation
in Python is so problematic.  (This is being fixed, but it will take a
while.)

I'd be happy to include sqlalchemy with pygr, or make it an optional
dependency.

And my test infrastructure supports testing it as an optional dependency,
now (we'd have double the tests, but that's ok).

cheers,
