Having prior experience in developing OORDB system in python several years back (http://www.kds.com.ua/akhavr/projects/python-oordb.shtml) I'd like to comment on MiddleKit. And I'm sorry to say, that MiddleKit seems quite near to a crap. After a week of using it, I feel sorry that I've committed to it. Problems outline (from the top of my head) - no global object id: when I want to restore a subclass using base class name with fetchObject it fails miserably. Ergo, I have to transfer _both_ id and type to be able to restore my object from db - if object is unhasheable, it fails to store it in storage cache, because cache is hashed by itself, not by its key - it forces you to use no-param constructor: __init__(self) and set all object's data via setAnItem methods - and yes, you just plug it in and forget for that same reason: you don't have an ability to access and set your objects plainly Sorry for rant, but I've spend already a week fixing its bugs and, it looks like, I'll have to spent lots more time fixing its design flows. Anyway, as my time allows, I'll send out a bunch of patches.
