A long time ago, (probably in a galaxy far, far away), I looked at Zope (versions 1.x). And, I have finally recognized the errors of my ways and have returned. So, in my re-learning curve, I was going through the various "guides" and the quick start. The quick start has the following section under Application Development:

Programming Data with Tabula

Zope enables "stupid" data to become smart. Aqueduct gives smarts to relational data, >Tabula gives it to desktop-based data (such as DBF files). While Aqueduct's data is >external to Zope, Tabula brings its data inside. Besides speedy searches and flexible >reports, Tabula adds intelligence to its data through computed fields, hierarchies and acquisition, plus all the features of DTML Scripting, especially direct querying.

So, the question is ... "What happened to Tabula?" Did the name change? Is it embedded somewhere in Zope? I think Aqueduct became the ZODBC Adapter. It turns out that I would love to be able to access "desktop-based data (such as DBF files)." My platform will be Linux. (If it was Windows, I could probably just use the ZODBC stuff.) I have found at least one Python module to access DBF files. But, if there is a Zope oriented solution, that would obviously be better.
