p2exe and ZODB

Tue Nov 12 02:49:28 EST 2002

Hi there,

First, an apology, my M$ Outlook INSISTS on sending HTML-spew, even though I
have all settings I can find on Text only and the status bar says Plain Text
:(

I gather from the context of my message that you also only have this problem
under Py2EXE (does Py2EXE work at all on *Nix?).  If not, it's quite strange
as ZODB works perfectly in a normal Python environment for me - it's just
doing strange things when working in a py2exe environment.  I have just
started investigating McMillan's installer product, but have had no luck so
far in getting it to wrap ZODB.  If I can get it to work, I'll post the
solution.

Regards
Etienne

I'm having trouble using standalone ZODB, with ramdom pickling errors
on commit as well.  I'm running on Linux, not Win**.  Maybe there is a
problem in ZODB?  My next attempt is to do the pickling directly, and
just make a database to store those strings.
