...then I'm in the minority of hating them both, and in the process of looking for an alternative since I'd be using a lot of python too for the foreseable future :|
I liked web.py's database abstraction layer a long time ago - know of anything similar in philosophy but more powerful?

- snorkasaurus 7y agoMassimo still maintans it at https://github.com/web2py/pydal https://github.com/web2py/pydal and he's working on py4web at https://github.com/web2py/py4web https://github.com/web2py/py4web. DAL was the first Python db abstraction I used, and I liked it well enough, but I've since used both Django and SQLAlchemy, and they both seem less opaque to me, maybe because not obscured by some of the weird things about web2py itself. I love the auto-generated backwards references you get in Django and SA when you use foreign key and many to many fields. They make life so much easier. I don't recall how that was achieved in DAL, I just remember it being... complicated.
