Sqlalchemy. You don't need to use the ORM-layer, and you can use 
reflection to create schema-objects like tables.

Then you can use that to create SQL-queries simple & powerful, whilst 
being DB-agnostic and having a road to start using the ORM if you 
discover it is useful for you.

To be honest: if you can control the schema, I'd still go for an orm. I 
for example use elixir. It makes the easy things *really* easy, and the 
complicated ones ar still possible.
