[ZODB-Dev] Problem with documentation and distribution files.

[Estaban]

AJ,

Thanks for the info. The problem is that I am not using ZOPE. I am just using 
raw python and the ZODB Standalone 1.0, and the example included in the docs 
uses BTree which is a dependency on ZOPE.

I am going to try out the IOBTree stuff that MT sent below.

BUT in the mean time the example that I found that DID work was located in 
the "employees example" @ 
http://www.zope.org/Documentation/Articles/ZODB1
Which contains no ZOPE specific dependencies, and is a great introduction and 
working code that only requires

python
ZODBStandalone 1.0


Thank you both for your replies!!
