Doesn't Django have its own ORM?
You can say that his ORM solution is crappy, or doesn't work well, but you can't dissmiss something just b/c it is not one of the old packages.
While I may not want to use his framework for anything mission critical, it seem to be a good choice for a small and app or for quick prototype development.
His main points in his framework is simplicity and ease of starting.
- inklesspen 19y agoYes, and Django's ORM is also inferior to SQLAlchemy. If his ORM were better than SQLAlchemy, it would be more widely used. Since it is not widely used, I see no need to look into it before dismissing it.
- mdipierro 19y agoSQLAlchemy is better than the web2py ORM in dealing with legacy databases. web2py has restrictions in this case. But the web2py ORM is much better integrated with the rest of the framework than SQLAlchemy is integrated with, for example, Pylons or TurboGears. If you do not use the entire web2py framework you are better off with SQLAlchemy. If you do use web2py, you are better off with its own ORM.
