Maybe you can just get the best of both worlds.

Have a look at SQLObject. You can ignore the fact that underneath the
SQLObject there's a postgres (or mysql, or whatever) database, and get
OO based persistance.

SQLObject is crippled in that there are degrees of freedom that SQL
gives you that SQLObject takes away/makes hard to use, but what you're
trying to do, and what most people actually do with databases, can be
easily wrapped around with a simple, pythonic wrapper.

It even has a .createTable() function for those times when you don't
even want to log into the database.
