Hello everyone, to learn a little bit more abour Python Products I wrote a little one today, which I thought might be useful. ZPickle does exactly what you would think it does. It pickles an object and returns the string or takes a string and converts it to an object. Works exactly like pickle.dumps and pickle.loads. For advanced Zopsters it is perfect as a base class. Basically ZPickle adds pickle support to your class. Pretty cool. The reason why I think it is usefull is, that you can now pickle objects you have in Zope and save them easily in DBs or simple text/string properties. The URL: http://www.zope.org/Members/srichter/ZPickle And, of course, I am welcoming any suggestions. :) cheers, stephan -- Stephan Richter iXL - Software Designer and Engineer CBU - Physics, Computer Science and Chemistry Student
