Hi Asif, It depends entirely what you mean by "support".
Django is just Python, so there's absolutely no reason you can't write a Django site that uses Django for the URLs, views and forms, but SQLAlchemy for the data access. Out of the box, you won't be able to use ModelForms or the Admin. However, with the new stable Meta API that was added in 1.8, you should be able to write a layer for SQLAlchemy that makes a SQLAlchemy table definition "quack" like a Django model, allowing you to wrap. Daniel Parathion did this as a proof of concept as part of his GSoC project using the Gmail API - he was able to expose a Gmail inbox as a Django model, browse his inbox in Admin, and use a ModelForm to compose an email from within the admin. I gave a presentation at the recent DjangoCon US about this topic; the slides are available here: https://speakerdeck.com/freakboy3742/i-never-meta-model-i-didnt-like Video should be available in the next week or so. Short version: it won't be *trivial*, but it's certainly *possible*, although you're in undocumented territory, so you'll have to navigate the sharp edges yourself.
