I've been developing a Django app, however I've recently changed the overall architecture plan. I no longer need a web-framework, just a simple Python script, so I'm changing from using the Django ORM to using SQLAlchemy to create and manage the database.

Previously I was using the Django Admin interface to review things that users had posted (which get added to the database), for the purposes of moderating them.

I still need a way of moderating user added content via a website. I think there are two options:

  • Build an admin web interface myself, from scratch :(
  • Use an existing library, that makes creating an admin interface easier (for a database created with SQLAlchemy).

I've started looking into FormAlchemy. If you've got experience with FormAlchemy: is it possible to create an admin interface with it, and is a particular framework that is preferable to build it with?


Otherwise, do you know of any good solutions to the SQLAlchemy admin interface problem?

Use Flask-Admin. Right now it has about 70% of Django features, some really great features, that Django doesn't support and it extremely flexible as Flask
