I've mainly used PaginateDataGrid, which is a simple sub-class of DataGrid, and it works fine with SQLAlchemy. I don't think DataGrid cares about the ORM and only expects a list of elements. See the class definition docstring. > I'm also a little unsure of how javascript fits in to all this.

DataGrid doesn't appear to use any JavaScript. It simply renders a grid from a kid template.
