The SQLAlchemy ORM adds a lot of functionality that is not available with its DAL alone, and most of that extra functionality already exists in pyDAL. As far as I can tell, the weppy ORM does not really add any functionality to the DAL -- it is mostly an alternative syntax. I'm not saying there isn't value there, just that it is a lot of code maintenance to take on for maybe only a very modest benefit.
