I've used several. Liked some, hated some. My favorite is SQAlchemy, can't say I have any real complaints about it. The few times I've had to strain the object model, SQAlchemy has degraded nicely and lets me use raw SQL. It's a great compromise. I feel like, just like using an ORM can turn into an "all-solving" hammer, so can functional programming. If a project one's working on feels like it would benefit from being represented as mapped objects, maybe one should... Do that. Then again, I don't have much experience nor interest in FP. Haven't needed it, I guess.
