[http://www.sqlalchemy.org SqlAlchemy] is an object-oriented database API for Python. From the website:

  ''SQLAlchemy is the Python SQL toolkit and Object Relational Mapper that gives application developers the full power and flexibility of SQL.''

  ''It provides a full suite of well known enterprise-level persistence patterns, designed for efficient and high-performing database access, adapted into a simple and Pythonic domain language.''

== Status

 * We talked a bit about adopting it for Trac's database abstraction layer, eventually replacing our home grown [source:trunk/trac/db database layer]. 
 * A proposal has been worked on: trac-dev:228
 * Some experimental work has started in source:sandbox/Attic/sqlalchemy-ng.
