Such Colander schemas can be used with libraries like Deform and helps remove the need for duplication of schema definitions.
- FormAlchemy
- FormAlchemy eliminates boilerplate by autogenerating HTML input fields from a given model. FormAlchemy will try to figure out what kind of HTML code should be returned by introspecting the model's properties and generate ready-to-use HTML code that will fit the developer's application.
- WTForms-Alchemy
- WTForms-Alchemy is a WTForms extension toolkit for easier creation of model based forms. Strongly influenced by Django ModelForm.
- SQLAlchemy-Searchable
- Full-text searchable models for SQLAlchemy. Only supports PostgreSQL.

The current supported spatial database systems are PostGIS, Spatialite, MySQL, Oracle, and MS SQL Server 2008.
- GeoAlchemy 2
GeoAlchemy 2 provides extensions to SQLAlchemy for working with spatial databases.
GeoAlchemy 2 focuses on PostGIS. PostGIS 1.5 and PostGIS 2 are supported.
GeoAlchemy 2 aims to be simpler than its predecessor, GeoAlchemy. Simpler to use, and simpler to maintain.
- SQLAlchemy-i18n
Internationalization extension for SQLAlchemy models.
- Stores translations in separate tables.
- Reflects translation table structures based on parent model table structure.
- Supports forcing of given locale.
- Good performance (uses proxy dicts and other advanced SQLAlchemy concepts for performance optimization).
- flask_debugtoolbar
- Debug toolbar with SQLAlchemy query information for Flask.
- pyramid_debugtoolbar
- Debug toolbar with SQLAlchemy query information for Pyramid.
- SQLTap
SQLTap is a library that allows you to profile and introspect the queries that your application makes using SQLAlchemy.
SQLTap helps you understand:
- how many times a sql query is executed
- how much time your sql queries take
- where your application is issuing sql queries from
- factory_boy
- Generate fake data and create random fixtures for testing in SQLAlchemy and many other Python ORM systems.
- mixer
- Generate fake data and create random fixtures for testing in SQLAlchemy and many other Python ORM systems.
- Dataset
- Easy-to-use data handling for SQL data stores in Python with support for implicit table creation, bulk loading, and transaction. Dataset also includes support for freezing data to CSV and JSON flat files.
- rdflib-sqlalchemy
- RDFLib store using SQLAlchemy dbapi as back-end.
- SQLSoup
- SQLSoup provides a convenient way to map Python objects to relational database tables, with no declarative code of any kind. It's built on top of the SQLAlchemy ORM and provides a super-minimalistic interface to an existing database.
- sqlalchemy-crosstab-postgresql
- New grammar for SQLAlchemy to make handling the
crosstab()tablefunc (i.e. pivot tables) in PostgreSQL easy peasy.
- bottle-sqlalchemy
- A Bottle plugin to manage SQLAlchemy session to your application.
- Flask-SQLAlchemy

- pyramid_restler
- pyramid_restler is a somewhat-opinionated toolkit for building RESTful Web services and applications on top of the Pyramid framework (with SQLAlchemy models).
- sacrud
- SACRUD will solve your problem of CRUD interface for SQLAlchemy,
by providing extension for Pyramid (yet) or use it in pure form.
Unlike classical CRUD interface, pyramid_sacrud allows override and
flexibly customize interface (that is closer to
django.contrib.admin). - zope.sqlalchemy
- The aim of this package is to unify the plethora of existing packages integrating SQLAlchemy with Zope's transaction management. As such it seeks only to provide a data manager and makes no attempt to define a zopeish way to configure engines.
- paginate_sqlalchemy
- This module helps dividing large lists of items into pages. The user is shown one page at a time and can navigate to other pages.
