Schema migration tools for SQLAlchemy, designed to support an agile approach to database design, and make it easier to keep development and production databases in sync, as schema changes are required. Python 2.6 and 2.7 are supported. If you are interested in a Python 3 port you might want to help. Have a look at issue 93 for current progress.

If you want to help with the Python 3 port you may consider to donate via Elveos.

SQLAlchemy-migrate 0.7.2 is compatible with SQLAlchemy 0.6.x and 0.7.x.

SQLAlchemy-migrate 0.7.1 provides support for SQLAlchemy versions from 0.5.x to 0.7.x.

SQLAlchemy-migrate 0.4.5 provides support for SQLAlchemy versions from 0.3.10 to 0.4.x

SQLAlchemy Migrate can also be found at the python package index at http://www.python.org/pypi/sqlalchemy-migrate and is included in Debian GNU/Linux, Gentoo GNU/Linux and FreeBSD.

You can get in touch with us at the IRC channel #sqlalchemy-migrate at FreeNode or via the migrate-users mailing list.

Documentation

The generated documentation for SQLAlchemy-migrate 0.7.2 is available at http://readthedocs.org/docs/sqlalchemy-migrate/en/v0.7.2/.

The October 2008 issue of the Python Magazine contains a tutorial style article about using sqlalchemy-migrate (version 0.4.5) by Jan Dittberner. Unfortunatelly Python Magazine's website is currently not available.

The latest documentation is included in the source package as ReStructuredText inside the docs directory, it may be processed with sphinx by calling python setup.py build_sphinx. A pre generated version of documentation is available in HTML.

A short (German) introduction to the SQLAlchemy-migrate project was given in a lightning talk at PyCon DE in October 2011.
