I have been using django ORM, it's nice and very easy, but this time I'm doing a desktop app and I found SQLAlchemy, but I'm not sure to use it with Elixir. What do you think? is it really useful?

A:
I'm not sure you need Elixir any more. With the Declarative mapper, you can create classes that map to your tables similar to the way it's done by Elixir. Is there a specific elixir feature that you're looking for?

It's been too long since I've used either library so I can't say for sure.

A:
Use SQLAlchemy with Elixir if you need Django-style (or Rails-style) simple object-relational mapping. If you need complex mapping like concrete table inheritance or dictionary-based collections, I recommend you yo use just SQLAlchemy with sqlalchemy.ext.declarative.
