> Django has an inbuilt (and inferior) version of sqlalchemy Django has it's own ORM with a different design philosophy that is optimised for a different use-case to sqlalchemy. Django's ORM is generally cleaner and more readable for the common case and requires less code to set up. It might be slightly less elegant for more complex cases but it's a trade off that's made me pretty happy on balance.
