The Schevo project (http://schevo.org/ -- website to be updated to follow new development soon) is working on integration with TurboGears, and we've found it to be very straightforward to do. We just make sure the database(s) are opened in the model.py of a project and use a 'db' global in model.py to access it. Our model.py files are only ever three lines long because of this ;) TurboGears is by nature, at least in its current incarnation, rather database-agnostic. Can't speak directly for Kevin, but things like SQLObject are basically included since it's quite a nice out-of-the-box ORM that makes it easy for people to start a new project using TurboGears and an RDBMS. Schevo isn't even a SQL-based DBMS, it's a different style of DBMS written entirely in Python, where the database schema is also written in a very straightforward declarative style, also in Python. If it's easy to use Schevo along with TurboGears, it should be equally as easy to plug in your company's ORM. Your project's model.py is the place to start. :) Have fun! -- Matthew R. Scott
