Consider usage of a standard ORM #11

nemesis.sqlitewrapper.KeyedSqliteThing looks like a basic implementation of an ORM.

We could reduce the amount of code we need to maintain by replacing this with an ORM library, such as SQLAlchemy.

Yes, definitely. At the moment nemesis has very minimal requirements, in part because it dates from a time before virtualenvs being popular (and possibly even possible, I can't recall when they first appeared) and getting dependencies installed on the deployment server was a bit complicated because (I think) this also pre-dates us having the config puppetised.

As an aside: I've actually been considering rebuilding nemesis based on Django as that would get us a lot of stuff for free.
