Definitely peewee. I've tried sqlalchemy but it's a mess and there is no magic.

Other ORMs are no more developed or not so good, like SQLobject, Elixir (layer on top of sqlalchemy), PonyORM. Peewee is the best I've seen so far in the python community, and it's the closer to the main ORMs for ruby or for php.

Peewee also have many gems, like this handful shortcut

Person.get_or_create(name='Foo', surname='Bar')

that automagically take the person named 'Foo Bar' from the DB if it exists, otherwise it creates it .
