What is this Python project?
This project allows Python developers to use Django's ORM and declarative models in any synchronous Python web framework. I've published it to PyPI here.
What's the difference between this Python project and similar ones?
I'm not aware of another effort to excise Django's Models from the entire framework so that it can be used in a pluggable manner (similar to how Active Record can easily be used with Sinatra).
That said, DJ-Models definitely competes with SQLAlchemy. Anywhere you would begrudgingly choose Flask/Pyramid + SQLAlchemy, you can now choose Flask/Pyramid + DJ-Models.
Here's a demo app using Flask + Dj-Models.
