My Python product needs to have its own catalog. Should I use ZCatalog or Catalog? I don't require to expose the catalog in the management interface, so I'm guessing I just need Catalog.
If you are cataloging objects in the database, I would definitely recommend subclassing ZCatalog, with it's management interface. You can "hide" it by not showing the tabs, but still letting it be accessible via the /manage_ urls. It will come in handy. If you are indexing something else altogether and the indexes and meta_data columns are fixed, then Catalog will probably work well, and in that case you probably wouldn't subclass fromCatalog, but let the catalog be an attribute on your object. That's my guesses... :-) Best Regards Lennart Regebro Torped Strategi och Kommunikation AB
