Tribler
Example community with an object-relational mapper
Outcome: a tutorial with one or all three ORM packages used Goal: use higher-level relational algebra, instead of hand-coded SQL Motivation: less code, easy to expand and re-use
Options Sqlalchemy, Storm, Django:

FYI: originally created by Johan in the Tribler project Tribler/tribler#130
Last time I talked with Johan about this it seemed like we didn't want to put time into ORM anymore. If this is still the case I suggest we close this issue. Johan?
Let's see if we can get an orm to work in Dispersy. Looking at this sqlobject, it seems pretty trivial: http://code.saghul.net/index.php/tag/sqlobject/
@NielsZeilemaker I have a branch on Tribler that changes some database to use an ORM called Axiom. I converted all tables expect the Channel-related ones to use Axiom and it worked. So this would also be an option.
Axiom seems to be something else, its an object store. I'd rather use an ORM if possible, and SQLObject seems a bit more mature.
@NielsZeilemaker it can be used as an ORM just fine: https://github.com/twisted/axiom/blob/master/README.txt Also, sqlobject doesn't seem to have a working schema upgrade system...
If we're not using it as an object database, but as orm then ok. But let's start with Dispersy, it's smaller.
