Persistent python object and the Web

[Jeff Shell]

The ZODB (Zope's object database, which can be downloaded and installed
separately from Zope) and Durus (part of the Quixote family, I believe)
are both high quality persistent Python object stores that are used
heavily for web sites.

I've never used the ZODB outside of Zope, and haven't used Durus yet.
But there may be some examples written up about how to use them with
mod_python.

You *might* even be served by the built-in 'shelve' module.
