Have you checked web2py with its DAL? you can get it also as a standalone module https://github.com/web2py/pydal Also there is db.py from yhat.

PyDAL (DAL) seems good on an initial look. I've just started exploring it, but recently wrote a post about publishing database data to PDF using PyDAL and xtopdf, my Python PDF creation library, here:

PyDAL is now a separate project and can be used without web2py.

I use both web2py and DAL on it's own as well. I really like the web2py framework. I started with django, but just wasn't as easy for me to pick up so I switched.
