Django-independent database backend, perhaps SQLAlchemy?

[shazow]

Would be awesome-possum if there was a database backend that is not Django-dependent. I would suggest using something like SQLAlchemy.

Yes, I'm aware of this! Sadly I don't have time to do anything about it now. I'm trying to focus on replacing Carrot+Ghettoq with Kombu (http://github.com/ask/kombu). Doing this shouldn't be very hard, so if you want to there's an implementation here that contains all the classes you need (but isn't properly ordered): http://github.com/haridsv/celery-alchemy-poc

alchemy_backend.GhettoqBackend -> ghettoq.backends.sqla.AlchemyBackend
alchemy_models.Queue + Message -> ghettoq.backends.sqla.models

Very cool, thanks!
