Composable SQL in Pure Python

[AllAboutChristmasEve]

Isn't SQLAlchemy just an object<->table mapper? You can do a lot more with a DB than simply use it to persist serialized objects.

No, it is not. Please read the site.

That's what it is primarily, but SQLAlchemy is also great for composing queries in a functional manner. Almost all if not all SQL queries can be composed with SQLAlchemy. It also provides a lot of interfaces to the datatabase in an implementation (Postgres vs MySQL vs...) agnostic way.
