[Zope] Question about application design

[Ausum Studio]

Let's say you want to have access to the whole list of cities of the world
and its corresponding coordinates. If I would want that information in RAM,
I just would put in inside a Python script, inside a RAM cache manager, as a
dictionary:

# script name: 'cities_of_the_world'
cities =
{'city1':'coordinates1','city2':'coordinates2','city3':'coordinates3', ...}
return cities

If you need to call the coordinates of city1, whithin another script in the
same container:

cities = context.cities_of_the_world()
city1_coordinates = cities['city1']
