SQLAlchemy is still arguably the most featureful and robust ORM in Python (although it is much more than an ORM). It is likely the best default choice unless you're already working within a framework that offers its own ORM.

SQLAlchemy does support type annotations [0], am curious what issues you're running into there?

One example: ``` class Base(DeclarativeBase): pass

class Foo(Base): name: Mapped[str]

x = Foo() ```

does not get caught as a type error statically, I'm assuming because all records are treated as mutable.

However, `x = Foo(name=2)` also doesn't get caught by pyright, which seems wrong. I could be misusing somehow though.

I don't think SQLAlchemy officially supports pyright,, although it would be great if they did given all the headaches people have had with mypy.

Oh wow, just found the `MappedAsDataclass` release in 2.0. This is exactly what I'm looking for, thanks!
