Ian, you might be interested to know that I only use the lower-level
select, update, etc. capabilities of SQLAlchemy and have no current
plans to use the mappers. I have a lot of SQL experience and just
haven't found that higher level of abstraction useful in my
applications. However, I do find SQLAlchemy's clean API for lower-level
SQL query construction to be outstanding, and don't mind a bit that it
has "too much" capability for me. And it's certainly not "all at once";
there's a clean break between SQL-level operations and the ORM capabilities.
Exactly. This is also what I found writing the SqlSoup extension.
