tornado-sqlalchemy 0.1.0

SQLAlchemy helpers for working in Tornado

tornado-sqlalchemy is a Python library aimed at integrating the tornado web framework and the SQLAlchemy database toolkit.

tornado is slightly different from the rest of the web frameworks, in that it allows handling web requests asynchronously out of the box. At the same time, making database operations asynchronous (especially when you put an ORM in the picture) is not that straight forward. Hence, the aim of this project is to provide a few helper functions which can help you handle your database operations easily in case you’re combining the two libraries.

This is not an end-to-end solution for your database needs, but rather it assumes that the developer knows what they’re doing, how the two libraries work, and especially how session handling in SQLAlchemy works.

This project is under heavy development, and makes no promises until the API stabilizes. You have been warned!
