ZODB, the Zope Object Database, is a persistent object database system for
Python. It provides facilities to write objects to disk automatically, read
them in again when they're required by a running program, and cache them.
ZODB normally forms part of the Zope application framework by Zope
Corporation (previously Digital Creations). (See port www/zope.) However,
it has found significant application outside of Zope.
This port represents StandaloneZODB, an official standalone distribution of
ZODB by Pythonlabs, a division of Zope Corporation. This official
distribution is now merging with with Andrew Kuchling's third party
standalone repackaging of ZODB that was formerly the focus of this port.
StandaloneZODB includes a standalone version of Zope Enterprise
Objects (ZEO), a tool to distribute ZODB stores across a network.
