Effort discontinued. Have switched to sqlacodegen which is cleaner, does a better job at generating model, and works using SQLAlchemy >= 0.9 and Python 3. You can view my fork of the project here.
Made some modifications to config.py and declarative.py to get object relationships to work.
Have also fixed issue 42. http://code.google.com/p/sqlautocode/issues/detail?id=42
Note that sqlautocode doesn't generate relationships for tables where overlapping composite foreign keys exist.

ORIGINAL README.md
AutoCode is a flexible tool to autogenerate a model from an existing database.
This is a slightly different approach to SqlSoup, that lets you use tables without explicitly defining them.

Example:
sqlautocode.py -o model.py -u postgres://postgres:user@password/MyDatabase -s myschema -t Person*,Download
ToDo:
+ Generate ActiveMapper / Elixir model
Notes (random):
ATT: sqlautocode currently does not handle function indexes well. It generates
code not understood by sqlalchemy.
