If your whole btree fits into memory you can use it like a python dictionary. I looked at IndexedCatalog, but diceded to use may own Catalog which implements a small subset of the Index-API of Zope2. IndexedCatalog is more implicit than explicit. If I could do a rewrite of my app, I would have a look at the indexes of Zope3. Building simple indexes with btrees is not dificult: Just map the value of your object to the ID of your object: catalog.name["Pierre"]=.... # Every object has an integer ID in my app. Be sure to write unittests, which check that the (redundant) data of the catalog don't get out of sync.
