Thanks.  I'll keep that in mind.

I hope you don't mind me playfully amplifying your !s. :)

If this is a customer project, I'd recommend dropping either
iron python or ZODB at this stage.

Not sure. I suspect not.  Tres created a Python implementation of
persistence and timestamp.   I've got a BTrees patch to review.

Keep in mind that these will run a lot slower than what you're used to.
If a performance is an issue, you may find yourself wanting to write
c# versions of these.
