I came to Django & South after using ActiveRecord and Rails migrations for years, and it drove me nuts. Not trying to cause a big argument, but why the big push in the Python community to model database tables via object properties/fields? I seem to recall SqlAlchemy does something similar.
No, I get that part. I'm talking more about building a database from models. It seems like these tools are designed to build the database scheme from the object models, which to me is just as bad as building the objects from the schema.
Ideally, we should use the declarative style of Django models and SqlAlchemy on the object, along with the scheme generation tools of Rails migrations.
