Would be the change to a "real" Good point. Why not forget XML except maybe in some form as an export/import format (which is work that can be done later)? Frederic, did you have in mind to have SQL relational DBs as the only underlying format, or did you want to have something higher-level, which just happens to be implemented using SQL queries and DB in some cases? If the latter, that requires some disk-based format -- why not pickle (cross-platform, cross-Python version, zero effort)? You could then leave implementing the SQL support till later. > database structure be to complecated?
