| It seems to me that it could be usefull to have a zope method for passing
| python pickles to external processes through a unix domain socket. My thinking
| was to use this as a means to abstract a data base connection. Yes, I know
| there are zsql methods, sqlalchemy and other products to do this. But my
| thought was to have a generilzed method for just passing a pickle to an
| external process that could do anything with it. Perhaps it could pass a pickle
| to a queue that would handle the pickle if the site need some high volume
| handling of data.
|
| Then one could have another python process listening on the socket -- ready to
| receive pickles for zope.


Isn't this called ZEO? d8)
