Five years of work produces Sqlkit, a Python package that builds a GTK desktop DB browser with table and form widgets driven by SQLAlchemy mapper-based introspection so joins and m2m relationships become editable without hand SQL. A command-line GUI (sequel-edit) and a tiny API need only a few imports and a layout string; demo has ~100 snippets. Features: configurable completions, dynamic filters, constraints, subtotals/totals, hooks, and OpenOffice template printing. Demos run cross‑platform; UNO printing on macOS needs extra setup.
