Here is a press release on Dr. Dobb’s regarding the Storm ORM.

And here is a discussion on reddit about Storm.

It appears that Gustavo Niemeyer created Storm when SQLAlchemy didn’t exactly meet his needs (and after contributing some code to the SA project).

From the Dr. Dobb’s press release:

“Storm is particularly designed to feel very natural to Python programmers, and exposes multiple databases as stores in a clean and easy to use fashion.”

May SQLAlchemy and Storm feed off of one another, provoke one another to higher levels of excellence, and live peacefully with one another.
