Keeping ORM with stored procedures
I am developing a Python web app using sqlalchemy to communicate with mysql database. So far I have mostly been using sqlalchemy's ORM layer to speak with the database. The greatest benefit to me of ORM has been the speed of development, not having to write all these sql queries and then map them to models.

Recently, however, I've been required to change my design to communicate with the database through stored procedures. Does any one know if there is any way to use sqlalchemy ORM layer to work with my models through the stored procedures? Is there another Python library which would allow me to do this?

The way I see it I should be able to write my own select, insert, update and delete statements, attach them to the model and let the library do the rest. I've gone through sqlalchemy's documentation multiple times but can't seem to find a way to do this.

Any help with this would be great!
