hi!
i have a few questions concerning programming python under zope:
- i need to write a keyword search engine, but how can i scan the documents in the data.bbb file?
You could easily traverse the object tree following the aquisition path if you wanted. You might look at lib/python/SearchIndex for more information on how to do this, it deals with attributes, but it's nearly the same I'd suspect.
- i need to read and write files but my attempts failed - is this a problem with my script or a common situation?
Read and write files HOW? Via HTTP? From External Methods?
- i want to store small amounts of information - what is the best approach (a database connection would be overkill)
A couple of options... you can store it directly in an object's properties perhaps, or in a "TinyTable" or use Gadfly which is a nearly complete SQL database written in Python that's very fast.
