Everyone uses in one way or another an ORM while working with SQLDatabases.

Django, for example, is widely used by a lot of companies and people out there, the ORM it is simply amazing and simplistic in the way you can simply focus on what it matters to you and not in the small details.

SQL Alchemy is another one widely used and loved by the majority of the python community.

Edgy is from the same autor of Esmerald so is expected to be supported (not natively) by the framework by providing some out-of-the-box built-in that can simply be used
