python web framework for straight sql (no ORM)?

[falcon]

Can someone please recommend a python web app framework which doesn't
abstract away sql in favor of python objects?

As far as I can tell, frameworks such as django, turbo gears, etc.
allow one to drop down the the sql layer, however that is not the most
effecient use of the framework.  I would like to use sql (similar to
how JSP's JSTL provides tag libraries for sql), yet not have to build
my own components such as: site administration, user registration,
authentication, rss feeds, etc. (I guess I'm thinking of a Django with
straight db-api database interface).

Is there such a framework?

Thanks.
