Yeah, I recall that SQLAlchemy was far less of a crippled compromise
than any other ORM I'd ever seen, but in itself it's hardly a web app
framework (and so it didn't usefully solve any of my immediate problems
- substituting its notation for existing SQL would have been little
more than make-work, and using it with the small Django app(let)s would
merely have broken the automagical admin and other stuff that make up
half of the reason Django is useful to me).  I don't remember having
heard of Storm before.

Hmmm, now what shall I do with this dodecahedral peg? ...
