Is there an SQLAlchemy equivalent of django-evolution?

Question

All I want is to have a workflow somewhat similar to:

Add django_evolution to the INSTALLED_APPS for your project
Run ./manage.py syncdb
Make modifications to the model files in your project
Run ./manage.py evolve --hint --execute

Which is super simple and even though it doesn't support advanced features (like multiple databases) it does know how to add/remove columns which is a common use case.

sqlalchemy-migrate has an insanely complex workflow in comparison and both tutorials (1, 2) referenced by the docs are either outdated or irrelevant.

I didn't know django-evolution. How does it compare to django-south ? — madjar, Dec 05 '11 at 08:46
At the time I used django_evolution (south didn't yet exist) and I was very pleased. For specifics see http://south.aeracode.org/wiki/Alternatives — ubershmekel, Dec 05 '11 at 09:14

The creator of SQLAlchemy recently started working on Alembic. While it's still young (version 0.1), it may suits your needs.

I think you already tried your hand on DJango :). These are the functionality right now not available with current SQLAlchemy. Suggested by @madjar you can use development version of Alembic or you can use sqlalchemy-migrate. Relevant post is already in stack overflow.
