You'd be assuming I know more than you!

I think it is as long as your model is distinct from the rest of the  
app.

sqlobject.ext.assignmapper

should let you map your existing tables and code across fairly  
cleanly as it provides SQLObject like syntax for accessing the data.

http://www.sqlalchemy.org/docs/plugins.myt#plugins_assignmapper

http://www.splee.co.uk/category/simpleblog/

is about as much as I know. It's one item on my list of 'stuff to  
look at', and that's an ever expanding list at the moment!

Cheers,

Arthur
