Dr. Dobb's Python-URL! - weekly Python news and links (Jun 26)

[Andrew M. Kuchling]

    Digital Creations releases the first public alpha of ZEO,
    version 0.2.  In essence, ZEO and ZODB form a language-specific
    object database for Python objects

    Your editor writes a draft of an article about using ZEO and
    ZODB

    PythonWare releases an implementation of SOAP 1.1.  "This
    version is somewhat experimental, and has a couple of known
    shortcomings that we plan to fix asap. It has been tested against
    Userland's SOAP implementation, and it's likely that it will work
    with IBM's Java library (we'll know more about that later this
    week)."

    Les Smithson mentioned having some Python code for X10 home
    automation; contact him if you want to help out.
