For those who hadn’t seen the announcement, the sqlalchemy team has released v0.4 (they don’t believe in big version numbers, do they?). I mentioned previously that they seem to be doing good things, and I’m really looking forward to having another bash at it this time round.

The main thing, though, is that they’ve really put a lot of effort into the docs. They’ve not just added new features; they’ve produced a sort of front page with lots of useful links, and the docs themselves are up to scratch. If I do have a grumble, it’s the same grumble you have with any many-layered software: there’s more than one way to do it, and it’s not clear at first which way you should go.

Great work from the sqlalchemy team!
