Records: Python library for making raw SQL queries to Postgres databases
I suppose this tool has it's place in the ecosystem.  I just wonder why anyone would use this when there are ORMs ....EDIT: I'm not saying this is a waste of time from a developer who obviously puts out quality projects.  I'm saying I don't see myself using it.  I'm most familiar and comfortable with the Django ORM and have overseen a large project with it.  There were several raw queries when I took over but once I left it there were none and all the replacement I did was clean ORM queries more performant than their raw SQL predecessors.
