[Twisted-Python] Twisted ORM

[Werner Thie]

Great work, I'm currently looking into doing some integration work with 
couchdb and stumbled over paisly https://launchpad.net/paisley but this 
piece of code is poorly maintained.

Not being the db master (neither from heart nor from profession) let me 
ask the dumb question:

How do you rate the chances of interfacing couchdb to your code?

Why am I fascinated by the promises couchdb makes? I really hate the 
overstructuring of data the SQL DBs impose - the moment you structure 
the data is the moment you realize that there is an impedance mismatch 
between data and its usage and technically ORMs are no more than 
impedance adapters, lightening the burden of the programmer to 
restructure data. With the promises couchdb makes in terms of imposing 
the least possible structuring onto the data and doing the 
(re)structuring when querying and retrieving it struck a note in me.

Thanks for comments, Werner
