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

Question

\"Make things as simple as possible, but no simpler.\"

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

Update: A

Answer 1

Forget ORM! I like vanilla SQL. The python wrappers like psycopg2 for postgreSQL do automatic type conversion, offer pretty good protection against SQL injection, and are nice and simple.

sql = "SELECT * FROM table WHERE id=%s"
data = (5,)
cursor.execute(sql, data)

Answer 2

What about using Elixir?
