[Pythoncard-users] Re: any feature requests?

[Peter C. <pe...@pe...>]

This is fairly obvious as feature requests go - but I'm curious.

What's the best candidate to provide the implicit card-level persistence 
HyperCard had?  Not to mention a place to store the code and resources, 
when we get to the point of having a PythonCard IDE.

Shelve leaps to mind, but I'm not sure the DB files Shelve creates are 
portable across platforms.  Shelve also seems to create more than just a 
single file, which is non-optimal.

What we really want is the single-file clarity of cPickle, with the memory 
friendly aspects of Shelve, in an efficient platform neutral file.  Does 
anyone know of such a technology?
