Hi Malthe. Kapil has confirmed the licensing is ZPL with a version bump
to 0.5.2 with a change in the headers, etc. I am anxious to experiment
with dobbin since it looks so straight forward and nice. I guess I see
traversal and containers as possible issues but will be interested in
potential solutions. Trails for grok is one possible solution for
traversal but will be curious to see approaches for replacing containers.
Regards
David

Hi Malthe. Perhaps I am wrong about the licensing situation. I guess its
a bit confusing since pypi indicates GPL and package ZPL. I guess I
should contact Kapil for clarification if I am interested in
experimenting here. Many thanks.

Hi Malthe. z3c.dobbin looks quite good and transparent. In my
opinion, this is much closer to what integration ought to look like
for CA. BTW, I noticed that z3c.dobbin is zpl but ore.alchemist that
it depends on is gpl. I think all the other zope flavors of
sqlalchemy are under zpl. I believe there was a recent effort to
bring the sqlalchemy flavors together under a single package. Not
sure what progress has been made.
It's progressing, but we've also talked to Kapil about relicensing
ore.alchemist to LGPL or ZPL, whichever is enough.
In any case, this direction looks like a good one. It would be
interesting if dobbin could map for storm but it appears to rely
heavily upon ore.alchemist.
I think it's more accurate to say that both rely heavily on
SQLAlchemy. We're actually not using the table reflection
functionality of ore.alchemist because we've taken a different
approach to it (joining on minimal interfaces rather than mapping
classes to tables). What we are using is some of the zope.schema to
sqlalchemy.Column mappings and the database session environment.
I believe storms advantage is that it is faster than sqlalchemy since
it doesn't have to worry about pooling connections, mappers, and
more. I'd be interesting to see a similar approach with storm. Good
job on this.
Thanks, I think we might've found a good approach. Currently we're
test-driving it in the Vudo project. So far so good.
I don't know much about storm; at this point I must say that I care
more about ease of use, mindshare and stability than just speed; we
feel that SQLAlchemy gives us that. Add to it that their community is
absolutely great.
