Maybe you can just get the best of both worlds. Have a look at SQLObject. You can ignore the fact that underneath the SQLObject there's a postgres (or mysql, or whatever) database, and get OO based persistance. SQLObject is crippled in that there are degrees of freedom that SQL gives you that SQLObject takes away/makes hard to use, but what you're trying to do, and what most people actually do with databases, can be easily wrapped around with a simple, pythonic wrapper. It even has a .createTable() function for those times when you don't even want to log into the database. Regards, Stephen Thorne. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
