tortoise-orm VS Peewee

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]

Alternative ORMs: there are many such as peewee, PonyORM, etc.

> If I need a database, I'll grab SQLAlchemy. I wish there were a mature lightweight solution here; maybe Tortoise ORM will get there soon?

peewee

PeeWee is descent in my experience in using on a previous enterprise project.
