Note that ORM refers specifically to an Object-Relational Mapper. To use
the ORM would be to construct objects, perform object operations on
them, and have those invisibly translated by the ORM into database
operations.

If you're using the SQL expression generator of SQLAlchemy, that's
explicitly not using the ORM, it's constructing SQL using object syntax.
Quite a different (and, IMO, less-fugly) thing altogether.

I often use SQLAlchemy, but never for its ORM.
