Actually, I think it is possible to have a largely compatible API  
(only in one direction... SQLAlchemy can be made to be largely  
compatible with SQLObject, not the other way around). Combine  
ActiveMapper with some alias classes that make class declaration look  
like SQLObject and you'll get quite close. Especially given that  
SQLAlchemy's query syntax is largely based on that of SQLObject.

Some breakage is inevitable, but it's likely that a good portion of  
an app could be migrated over.
