I'm the author of Peewee and I've been running my blog with Flask, Peewee, gevent and sqlite. It's a very low-impact combination, lightweight and fun to use, although I'm a bit biased.

Thank you for your work on Peewee. The code is nicely written and is easily read start to finish.

If Raymond Hettinger says that, it's probably true. :-) I agree -- I've been using peewee for a side project, and it's great. I also love the fact that the source is one file, as that makes it so easy to find stuff in and navigate. I've been working offline, so didn't have access to the docs, and just referred to the source to figure out how to do things.

It's my pleasure! And thank you for the wonderful libraries, talks, and who could forget those snippets.

Ok, now I'm going to go study Peewee's code...

Ackkkk I'm actually rewriting it currently to try and ameliorate the cruft that's crept in since the 2.0 rewrite. I want to say "But wait! If you read the code in a couple weeks it'll be so much better!"

Trust me, I'm sure I can improve my Python skills by reading the current version. I don't get a chance to use Python enough to shed the baggage of other languages to write Pythonic code, if that makes sense.

I haven't used Peewee in a project yet, but I've poked around with it. It's really nice, so thank you.

I'm using peewee for the first time on a project starting yesterday.

Not using the ORM (I like writing SQL for some reason) but the connection pooling on Postgres is nice and I'm really enjoying working with it. Thanks for your work.

I've learned a lot about Python from reading Peewee's source, thanks.
