I am looking for some good, free data modeler programs for Linux that are painless to install and work with SQLAlchemy. Any ideas?

Does "painless to install" include invoking your package manager? What about `.configure && make && sudo make install`? – dmckee --- ex-moderator kitten Nov 16 '10 at 22:08

"painless to install" isn't a real requirement. that's in the same class as "fast as possible" – Stephanie Page Nov 16 '10 at 22:24

Stephanie Page, I edited my question to be more specific. dmckee right well, it would be nice. perhaps i am jsut scared of the command line. i'm working on it bit by bit. the `.configure && make && sudo make install` is scary but i am open to it. – Nov 16 '10 at 22:38

You could use Dia and Dia2SQLAlchemy (http://code.google.com/p/dia2sqlalchemy/)
Dia comes standard on many Linux distros and works well enough. It's an open source tool aimed roughly at the Visio market though not nearly as polished as Visio is.
