Any reasons not to use SQLObject over SQLAlchemy?

Question

I don't expect to need much more than basic CRUD type functionality. I know that SQLAlchemy is more flexible, but the syntax etc of sqlobject just seem to be a bit easier to get up and going with.

Answer 1

I think SQLObject is more pythonic/simpler, so if it works for you, then stick with it.
SQLAlchemy takes a little more to learn, but can do more advanced things if you need that.

Answer 2

Also, you might wanna take a look at elixir, which is a fairly thick wrapper around SQLAlchemy and really makes the basic tasks easy while retaining the power of SQLA.
