I have wished for a PHP mapper with a similar vision to Python's
incredible SQLalchemy (http://www.sqlalchemy.org/)

I'm not very familiar with the PHP offerings, except for Propel, which
is used at my job. Besides having to pre-generate the classes from XMl
that is derived from the database, my biggest problem with Propel is
that it generates pretty horrible SQL a good chunk of the time.

It's nowhere near as flexible and powerful as SQLalchemy, but maybe
that's because Python's dynamic features are stronger than PHP's
(everything is an object that can be passed around, including classes,
functions, etc.)
