[Modeling-users] Other OR-bridges?

[Mario R. <ma...@ru...>]

Hello S=E9bastien, all,

Bravo for a very clean and elegant package. I have only read through
your documentation -- I am convinced that this kind of middle layer
is the way to go. If I may, I have a couple of questions:

I am aware (and experimented with) another such layer for python,
MiddleKit included in Webware (http://webware.sourceforge.net/) but may
be used outside of it. It also is inspired from WebObjects' EOF, but=20
seems to
take a more pragmatic approach and providing a CSV model definition=20
format
from which tables and classes are generated. Are you familiar with this=20=

package?
How would these two frameworks compare?

Any ideas of performance? For example, on a fetch of a 100, 1000, or so
objects, what is the difference between going thru DBAPI directly,
and going through this bridge?Have you ever had the opportunity to
get a feeling for this in some way?

A suggestion, if I may. How about an easily recognizable and short name,
such as PEOF (python EOF) ?

Best regards,

Mario Ruggier
