SQLAlchemy and django, is it production ready?

database, django, python, sqlalchemy

Solution

What I would do,

Define the schema in Django orm, let it write the db via syncdb. You get the admin interface.

In view1 you need a complex join

    def view1(request):
       import sqlalchemy
       data = sqlalchemy.complex_join_magic(...)
       ...
       payload = {'data': data, ...}
       return render_to_response('template', payload, ...)

Problem

Has anyone used `SQLAlchemy` in addition to `Django`'s ORM? I'd like to use Django's ORM for object manipulation and SQLalchemy for complex queries (like those that require left outer joins). Is it possible? Note: I'm aware about `django-sqlalchemy` but the project doesn't seem to be production ready.
