There is a list of a number of such interfaces here:
http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/moinmoin/HigherLevelDatabaseProgramming

If there's any missing I hope someone will extend them.  Currently
listed are:

DbObj
db_row
ll.sql
PgResultSet
MiddleKit
Object Relational Membrame
PyDo
SQLBuilder
SQLDict
SQLObject

In various forms these address exactly what Luke was proposing.
