No. So far I used SQLAlchemy only "stand alone". But if I knew how to
say

  import mylib
  s = mylib.setup_session_and_all()
  zope.something.tie_this_session_to_a_zope_transaction(s)

that could probably go a long way towards achieving the "support
external schema and logic" use case.

In my theory, this should be explained on the web pages concerned with
zope.formlib or z3c.form (no need to replicate on grok.zope.org), but
the - practically important - "edge cases" are the ones that one needs
to dig the source for, as far as I can see.


Kind regards,
