XML pickle is another thing to keep in mind as we look at file storage
alternatives. David's articles (Charming Python, XML Matters, etc.) can be

Subject: Re: more on xml pickle module


Hi Kevin,

There are several articles you might want to look at.  I recently
compared the object models of xml_pickle and XML-RPC, which might be
relevant to you:

    http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/library/x-matters15.html

The update on xml_pickle (through June 2001) is at:

    http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/library/x-matters11.html

And the original introduction was at:

    http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/library/xml-matters1/index.html

I give you all the IBM URLs because they are the "official" publication.
But the same articles (formatted slightly differently) should be at my
own site (I'm not sure if I got up the XML-RPC one yet).

There are actually a bunch of enhancements to xml_pickle underway right
now (by an interested user, with mostly just comments by me... but some
code clarification).  Those may or may not be interesting to you
(mxDateTime was added; we're looking at allowing classes to customize
how they (un)pickle themselves; SREs will be handled; and there will be
a fallback to "rawpickle" format for types the [pickle] module knows
about, but [xml_pickle] doesn't [not much, I hope]).

Yours, David...
