Some people will say that SQLAlchemy is complex, and there's a grain of truth to that. But I personally think the maturity and featureset makes up for the complexity.


I would also say that SQLAlchemy with the declarative extension is actually incredibly easy to use.

And once you want to start doing the more complex stuff, SQLAlchemy handles it all just fine, whereas other ORMs tend to fall short rather quickly.


I agree, but easy to use != simple. For instance, I consider rails to be easy to use, but not simple. :-)
