I have mentioned Prevayler before. Now Patrick K. O'Brien is building a Python version - PyPerSyst.
I remain a little dubious about the approach used by Prevayler (and PyPerSyst), but I'll be very interested to see the results.
Posted to Python by Simon Brunning at October 07, 2002 12:51 PMHey, Simon. I was wondering if you could list some of your specific concerns with the Prevayler/PyPerSyst approach? I just want to make sure the system lives up to its potential, and it would help to know what some of the issues are.
Thanks,
Pat

Of course, if you have applications that *can* fit into RAM, whether desktop apps or server apps accessed via an RMI or CORBA-like mechanism, then you've got to wonder whether the Prevayler approach isn't superior to a DBMS approach. We'll see. The Python implementation is looking quite nice and seems to work well. The next thing we need to do is make it more transparent. Then I want to make it work with Pyro. Do check it out.
