No, unless you are maintaining an existing project already using this package. For new projects, use a maintained migration tool. The package is abandoned with no updates since 2019-10-22, and offers no path to compatibility with modern SQLAlchemy or Python versions.

Before you install
- Package is abandoned and not maintained; compatibility with modern SQLAlchemy versions is not guaranteed.
- Low install friction with a wheel distribution and straightforward dependencies.
- However, the package is abandoned—last release was 2019-10-22.

What it is and what it does
SQLAlchemy Migrate is a database schema migration tool inspired by Ruby on Rails migrations. It extends SQLAlchemy with changeset handling, allowing you to version-control and apply incremental schema changes through a repository mechanism accessible both from the command line and from Python code.
The package classifies support for Python 2.7 and Python 3.3–3.6. It depends on SQLAlchemy, pbr, decorator, six, sqlparse, and Tempita. However, the project has been abandoned since 2019-10-22, with no active maintenance, security updates, or compatibility work for modern Python or SQLAlchemy versions.
Use it for
- Manage incremental database schema changes in legacy SQLAlchemy projects still on older versions.
- Version-control database migrations alongside application code in projects already using this tool.
- Run migrations from command-line scripts in deployment pipelines for projects locked to this framework.
- Inspect and replay historical schema changes from a repository when migrating away from this tool.
