Easy data modeling with PyModels

PyModels is a lightweight framework for mapping Python classes to schema-less databases.

It is not an ORM as it doesn’t map existing schemata to Python objects. Instead, it lets you define schemata on a higher layer built upon a schema-less storage (key/value or document-oriented). You define models as a valuable subset of the whole database and work with only certain parts of existing entities – the parts you need.
