Django Models / SQLAlchemy are bloated! Any truly Pythonic DB models out there?

Question

Can we find the solution/s that fix the Python database world?

I've been busy, here it is, released under LGPL: http://github.com/lukestanley/lustdb

It uses JSON as it's backend at the moment.

This is not the same codebase Alex Martelli did. I wanted to make the code more readable and reusable with different backends and such.

Elsewhere I have been working on object oriented HTML elements accessable in Python in similar ways, AND a library for making web.py more minimalist.

I'm thinking of ways of using all 3 elements together with automatic MVC prototype construction or smart mapping.

While old fashioned text based template web programming will be around for a while still because of legacy systems and because it doesn't require any particular library or implementation, I feel soon we'll have a lot more efficent ways of building robust, prototype friendly web apps.

Please see the mailing list for those interested.
