edendb - A thin, flexible and fast python DBAPI wrapper for those who like SQL but don't like to type

If you are like me, you have looked for ways to make connecting to database from your python code easier and less painful.

For a long time I looked into the myriad ORMs available for python and they all seemed to be overkill for me. I don't mind using SQL. In fact I like it, but when putting it into python code and using the DBAPI I found my productivity was declining. I needed something to make executing sql commands faster and easier from python code. I needed something abstracted away from the DBAPI, but that also allowed me to execute straight sql if needed and easily handle all the possible values that could be returned.

So, I wrote a python library to do it.

Meet edendb!

Check it out and let me know what you think.

Good work, Paul. Very useful. Thanks.

Any plans you are going to make it available on github/bitbucket so it may be easier for others to contribute :-).
