I would like to know how to connect to running Zope ZODB from a python script. I would like to have possibility to read only objects from ZODB? Is there any possibility how to do it when Zope application server is running and not to corrupt the ZODB?
This was asked on the zope-dev@zope.org list only a few weeks ago. You can look up the discussion in the list archives.
The best solution is for you to use ZEO, and write your python object-reader as a ZEO Storage Client.
I believe this is easier than it might sound, although I haven't tried it myself.
(did I get the terminology right?)
Yep, and it's actually *really* easy. Once you have your Zope running on ZEO, you just write a script with these two lines: import Zope app = Zope.app() Now "app" refers to the root folder. Read and change objects to your heart's content. (Seriously!) Then just call: get_transaction().commit() It can't get any easier than that. You can even do all this using the interactive prompt. Shane
