Then, get involved!  I would love to have someone else work on this  
code with me.  Anyone who would like to, just ask, and I will give  
you commit access to the repository.

Indeed.  I find that SQLObject is a brilliant piece of work, and I  
don't want to knock it really.  It works like a champ for lots of  
cases, and I think its a good choice for a decent number of projects.

However, SQLAlchemy can do a lot more, and hopefully soon it can be  
just as pretty and simple to get started with.

I totally understand your complaints, and hopefully this declarative  
layer will help make SQLAlchemy an even better choice for you.

No problem!
