What are best resources/tutorials for starting up with SQLAlchemy? Maybe some simple step by step stuff like creating a simple table and using it and going up from there.

A:
Personally, I'd buy this book and cram it into the noggin over the course of a week or so.
I've tried tackling SQLAlchemy on the job without learning the details first. I had a hard time with it, because I found the online documentation to be sparse and cryptic ("read the source for more info..."). SA also provides several levels of abstraction at which you can work and I wasn't confident that I was ever working at the correct level.

I think the book is helpful, but hard to use. Most of the code examples don't give clear context about where thing are imported from, what objects and code are expected to be already loaded, and the like.

It's a good start, but they get into declarative style very quickly, and the conflates the mapper, popo, and session layers.
