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?
Beyond shelve there are no official plans to add a specific object store. -Brett
