This is a helpful start. Thank you. However, if we decide to use TurboGears, we would need to use SQLAlchemy because we have an existing database that has multiple columns that represent primary keys in many of our tables. I was hoping that there would be a way to generate the python model code from an existing MySQL database, and then be able to update that model code automatically or through some program whenever changes are made to the database through something like PHPMyAdmin. It sounds like it would be more difficult to write code in TurboGears if the database is not represented in the python module.
