ZODB, the Zope Object Database, is a persistent object database system for
|
|
Python. It provides facilities to write objects to disk automatically, read
|
|
them in again when they're required by a running program, and cache them.
|
|
|
|
ZODB normally forms part of the Zope application framework by Zope
|
|
Corporation (previously Digital Creations). (See port www/zope.) However,
|
|
it has found significant application outside of Zope.
|
|
|
|
This port represents StandaloneZODB, an official standalone distribution of
|
|
ZODB by Pythonlabs, a division of Zope Corporation. This official
|
|
distribution is now merging with with Andrew Kuchling's third party
|
|
standalone repackaging of ZODB that was formerly the focus of this port.
|
|
|
|
StandaloneZODB includes a standalone version of Zope Enterprise
|
|
Objects (ZEO), a tool to distribute ZODB stores across a network.
