I'm fairly new to Django and making my way through the tutorial.
Knowing what I've learned so far, I'd like to explore using django.db.models.Model in a non-web application. I'd like to take the entire model layer and use it for database access in a standalone, multithreaded python 3.4 application. It is not a web application. I would like to be able to take advantage of the migration capabilities in manage.py.
Questions:
1. Is it as simple as adding `from djanago.db import models`? Would this bring in any unnecessary django packages/modules, considering I will not be developing a web application, not using views, templating, etc?
It's *almost* this simple - you will also need to configure your Django environment before you start making database calls. If you're looking to do this in a *completely* "non-web" way, this probably means a call to settings.configure(); details here:
2. Is the django model layer thread safe? Specifically, when using sqlite3 as a back end?
It should be - after all, web servers are frequently multi-threaded. SQLite3's performance under multithreading, however, might leave something to be desired.
3. Are there other clean ORM/database model layer frameworks/packages that I should consider for python 3.4?
The other obvious candidate would be SQLAlchemy; it's a perfectly fine ORM - without any of the other web framework overhead. It's a lot more like a "SQL building toolkit" than Django's ORM - whether this is a good or bad thing depends on your own preferences and use case.
