Django driver please (to work with ORM)? :-/

Edit : I am not sure why I am being down voted. Help?

View on HN

Forgive my ignorance, but can you not just use the Python RethinkDB driver? Or does it have to be Django specific?

I think tequila_shot is looking for a driver that lets him use RethinkDB with the Django ORM.

You are right. I am looking for a driver to work with ORM.

Django is pretty tightly coupled with its orm. The last time I looked into it, the mongo/django solution was essentially a fork of django with the data layer completely rewritten

While it is challenging to build a Django integration, there are some options for working with RethinkDB. You can check this StackOverflow answer for a starting base: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28001980/how-to-setup-ret...

Jorge Silva (@thejsj) also wrote this demo app to show how you could pair MySQL with RethinkDB when using Django: https://github.com/thejsj/django-and-rethinkdb

I wouldn't hold my breath. Django isn't popular enough to create a niche driver. Besides as others point out vanilla Django was designed with SQL in mind.

I am not trying to challenge your statement and not trying to be sarcastic. Can you quote the link where this is stated so that I can learn the background?
