Sqlobject is easier to use and is more lightweight than sqlalchemy. Correspondingly the learning curve is much less steep so for small projects many would find it more appropriate. It's like bash vs. python. For simple things python is an overkill, for more complex things bash is not powerful enough and one should go with python. > I started using SQLObject because Turbogears recommended it.

For 2.x the default will indeed be sqlalchemy but that should not stop us from using sqlobject since that will continue to be supported. > It might be nice to dialogue with the Turobgears community and ask them what > we could do to improve the product so that it would be the default choice > again. I don't think that will ever happen. Then again it should not matter what the default is, the only relevant thing is whether sqlobject is supported or not by the framework and it seems the tg developers intend to support it in future versions (at least 2.x).
