Serialization + persistance : in a few lines of code, compress and annotate Python objects into SQLite; then later retrieve them chronologically by keywords without any SQL. Most useful "standard" module for a database to store schema-less data.
this essentially unifies standard modules: sqlite3, zlib, gzip, cPickle -- to compress Python objects (such as a dictionaries, lists, and classes) for persistance in a SQL database -- fast access in a few lines of code (without SQL). Easy to maintain all objects under (project) tables in a *single* compact database file. Helpful examples, functions, and comments within the module.
The module was easy to use once I got familar with the "internal" commentary -- very verbose, but learned some very useful details.
Excellent and elegant -- all those complicated protocols and SQL statements *simplified* to something easy as opening/closing files.
Works great. Will add to tools for bioinformatics. Learned a lot from the docs. Thank you.
Looks very cool but difficult to install except manually place on PYTHONPATH. Please package as an egg and list on pypi.python.org so automated tools like zc.buildout and easy_install can find it. A tiny setup.py is all that is needed. Very good work though.
