  3. sqlalchemy-mixins

    Active Record, Django-like queries, nested eager load and beauty __repr__ for SQLAlchemy

    it is more low level, but there are several projects that build Django (active record style) abstraction on top of it. https://github.com/absent1706/sqlalchemy-mixins

  4. Werkzeug

    The comprehensive WSGI web application library.

    Flask doesn’t support ASGI; neither does Werkzeug. The official guidance for running Flask with an ASGI server is to wrap it in middleware. The open GitHub issue for Werkzeug to support ASGI is #1322.
