Hmm.. flask shouldn't be a dependency. I tried to get iommi to work on flask/sqlalchemy many years ago, but that's somewhat abondoned... > I am thinking about using it for some sections (a management/dashboard bit, and probably the admin) of a site, the rest of which is plain Django. Are there likely to be any problems doing that? Incremental adoption and mix-and-match is also a fundamental design goal so that should work fine.

When I made an attempt first time SQLAlchemy was in the middle of a huge API change too, which meant the docs were rather bad and incomplete. Maybe it's better now. Supporting both Django Templates and Jinja2 is a bit annoying too, but doable.

    Thanks, that was quick! I noticed you are the developer of one of the other dependencies, django-fastdev which fixes a lot of Django annoyances itself. Very nice. TBH I would probably use iommi with Django even if you supported Flask or similar because the Django ecosystem is huge and I am familiar with it.

      The idea would be to support both transparently.
