You would do much better to ask this question on the django mailing list 
(http://groups.google.com/group/django-users).

Ugh.  I've played with SQL Alchemy a few times and every time I've run 
away screaming in the other direction.  I can see how it's useful if you 
need to be totally cross-platform, but, man, if that's what it takes to 
be cross platform, I'm happy being a MySQL bigot all day long.

I don't see any reason you couldn't use the Model layer by itself, if 
you want to.  It pretty much stands on its own.
