This is a script that is (currently)  run manually to parse log files. Re the ORM needing work - probably, I have no idea since I've only played with it.

I'm still not a fan of the templating, but for some uses it's cool.  I'm interested why, you had to import the db from an external script as you mention in 'Flexibility'? As for the python community uniteing behind django, as you say, I think this is already happening.  I do think that the ORM needs a bit more work  - since you have to adjust your db schema to accomodate for lazy loading concerns.  There is some work going on to intergrate sqlalchemy into django (as an optional ORM), which would be sweet. Nice article.
