In doing a little research I ran across PyTables, which according to the documentation does this: "PyTables is a hierarchical database package designed to efficiently manage very large amounts of data." It also deals with compression and various other handy things. Zope also seems to be designed to handle large amounts of data with compression in mind.
Does any know which of these two apps would better fit my purpose? I don't know if either of these has limitations that might not work out well for what I'm trying to do. I really need to try and compress the data as much as possible without making the access times really slow. Thanks -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
