After installing the tranquil django app and middleware, using SA ORM objects is as simple as this.

from django.shortcuts import render_to_response

from tranquil.models.app_name import Poll, Choice

def index(request):
	polls = request.sa.query(Poll)
	return render_to_response( 'polls/index.html', { 'polls': polls } )

Importing SQLAlchemy ORM

All SQLAlchemy ORM models are stored under tranquil.models. The basic outline is tranquil.models.[app_name].[model_name].

Some examples:

• django.contrib.auth.models.User = tranquil.models.auth.User
• django.contrib.contenttypes.models.ContentType = tranquil.models.contenttypes.ContentType
