+-------[ David Bear ]---------------------- | 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) -- Andrew Milton akm@theinternet.com.au
