A simple, powerful, and extensible Object Document Mapper for RethinkDB, written in Python.
Remodel is a Python-based Object Document Mapper (ODM) for RethinkDB, designed to simplify database interactions by providing a dictionary-like interface for document models. It solves the problem of managing schemaless data and complex relationships in RethinkDB without enforcing rigid schemas, making it easier for developers to work with NoSQL databases in Python.
Python developers building applications with RethinkDB who need a lightweight, extensible ODM for handling document relationships and schemaless data structures.
Developers choose Remodel for its simplicity, convention-over-configuration approach, and full support for RethinkDB relationships without the overhead of heavier ORMs. Its familiar dict interface and extensible design make it a practical choice for rapid development.
Very simple yet powerful and extensible Object Document Mapper for RethinkDB, written in Python.

Works with flexible document structures without predefined schemas, allowing easy adaptation to changing data, as emphasized in the README's features.
Model instances provide a Python dictionary-like interface for straightforward data manipulation, shown in CRUD examples where keys are assigned and accessed directly.
Handles complex relationships like has_many and has_and_belongs_to_many with lazy-loading and caching, demonstrated in detailed relation examples with automatic persistence.
Allows custom lifecycle callbacks and methods, such as after_save hooks, enabling developers to add business logic easily, as illustrated in the callbacks section.
The README explicitly states it's under active development and not suitable for production, limiting its use in critical applications.
Reverse relationships aren't automatically ensured; both ends must be defined explicitly, increasing boilerplate and potential for errors, as noted in the concepts section.
Tables and indexes need manual creation via helper functions like create_tables(), adding setup complexity compared to auto-migrating ODMs.
