nanodjango VS tortoise-orm

nanodjango – Full Django in a single file - views, models, API, with async support.

The app-based model is really baked into Django. As we've seen from a bunch of examples, especially recently, it's not too hard to build out a single-file project that serves a simple home page with a brief message. As soon as you want to support a full actual page, and a set of pages, you really have to figure out a well-thought-out plan for how people will expand the project.

If you're still interested in this work, I suggest checking out nanodjango, which was mentioned earlier in this thread. That project is new, but there's a plan from the outset for how people can transition from the single-file based version to a standard Django project. You might also want to check out Andrew Godwin's django-singlefile project. It's meant to support small flask-like projects, where you don't have any intention of expanding out into a standard Django project.

Both of these projects have their own code that takes what's included in the small file and tells Django how to make sense of it. That's much different than the projects that are only trying to make use of what's included in Django itself.

(I'm the author of the Django from first principles series that was submitted here, but I didn't see it on HN until this morning.)

Wouldn't know. However, some standalone projects are attempting to replicate the same experience, check Tortoise ORM - https://github.com/tortoise/tortoise-orm.

TortoiseORM: I personally really like this Django-inspired async ORM; it's clean and nice to use.

To do this, we can use the Tortoise-ORM. Begin by installing the package:

If I was answering this question but for python, I'd recommend something like prefect, boto3, or tortoise-orm -- not extremely complex and with a pretty comprehensible featureset.

If you're just starting with relational databases i suggest you use an ORM an object relational mapper. Which allows you to use simple python to make all database interactions. And i recommend using tortoise ORM.

Does anybody have any experience with that? Can I use Django in my asyncio application without *actually using Django? Or should sth like Tortoise ORM be preferred?

Tortoise ORM looks a lot like the django ORM https://tortoise.github.io

Thanks, it's great to see Django adding slowly but surely in all sorts of places.

By the way, have you looked at tortoise orm, which is a fully async python ORM with very Django-like syntax? [1]
