Related but tangential question that we were discussing on the pygr[0]
mailing list -- what is the "official" word on a scalable object store
in Python? We've been using bsddb, but is there an alternative? And
what if bsddb is removed?
It would be very nice to have a moderately scalable (thousands to
millions, if not billions) cross-platform object store backend
distributed with Python.
sqlite could be one choice, but I haven't used it much yet, so I don't
know.
thanks,
