I'm not sure twistar is in better shape, given that the last PyPI release is 2013, although there are a few commits to upstream's GitHub in 2015. I think SQLAlchemy or SQLObject are generally considered best-in-breed of the Python ORMs. (FWIW, GNU Mailman 3 core is Python 3 and was ported to SA last year.) >I would support the packaging of twistar for debian; is there stil >lthe possibility if packaged readly to have it in the upcoming debian >stretch/ubuntu xenial? I can't say whether it's worth it or not, but yes, there is probably time to package it up and get it through NEW for stretch and xenial, if you can find a sponsor (I'm not volunteering ;).
