The same for me ;-)
But lately I'm trying to avoid to use the SQLAlchemy ORM.

The problem with reverse proxy is that you need another server, and this 
server is usually written in Python, and most of the time it uses 
threads for concurrency, so it's not the best solution (unless, of 
course, you don't run a whole "cluster" of servers, like Ruby 
programmers like to do)


IMHO, a better solution is:
1) Use Nginx as main server + reverse proxy
2) Run your application embedded in Apache or
    Nginx (but the application should be written with care)
