Give PonyORM a chance

I do a lot of heavy Django work and first glance I really like the syntax. Much cleaner that what I'm used to. I will def give this a try at some point and comment further.

Why the name PonyORM btw? I know it's superficial but I much prefer the name SQLAlchemy - has more meaning.

Hi, I am one of Pony ORM authors.

The idea of Pony ORM is to provide a Pythonic way to work with the database. We think that the generator syntax is very concise and convenient.

It is named Pony because a pony is a small, smart and powerful creature - these are the features which our mapper has. Our goal is to provide non-leaky abstraction and good user experience.

I believe it's a reference to DjangoPony (http://www.djangopony.com/).

Actually we named our project aprox two years before Django Pony mascot image appeared.
