There's recent work on making Django-like admin stuff with SQLAlchemy, here:
   http://code.google.com/p/dbsprockets/

It's harder to make interfaces like this when the model isn't as 
constrained.  There might be some Elixir-specific stuff too (Elixir is a 
wrapper around SQLAlchemy for creating models more like Django or 
SQLObject).
