I'm writing a section about migrating a database from SQLObject to SQLAlchemy. I think I've found a minor usability wart: in SQLObject, you can do "SomeClass.select().count()". In SQLAlchemy with ActiveMapper, the equivalent is "list(Page.table.count().execute())[0] [0]", which is a little painful. (Straight up SQLAlchemy without ActiveMapper still seems a bit cumbersome, because Page.table is just replaced by "page" or whatever table instance you might have defined...)
Am I missing some shortcut, or is this really the way to do this?
