Me too - I rather prefer using SQL to ORMs, *but* my basic reason is that I find it ridiculous for python ORMs to claim they lower sql/python impedance while they lead away from the python construct that's the obvious fit in the role of sql representative : I mean generator expressions. And OK, generator expressions aren't quite as powerful as SQL, but... well, maybe they can yet be perfected. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
