Previously, using Bobo, I created several PickleDictionaries for use on my website. Regularly, I would pack these databases before ending the CGI call since they were altered very frequently. Now, using Zope, I find that I cannot pack them without receiving error messages telling me I'm attempting to write while the database is in read-only mode (it appears the Zope threads out the packing). I also found that Zope caches these databases and issues an error when I attempt to open them again. What is the best way to pack and close these databases? How can I query which db's have been opened? Even if I do keep a mapping of previously opened db's, how can I find out if Zope is closing them. Any help is appreciated.
