    ...database to store data. In ERP5 data is stored instead in Zope's object database. Zope eliminates the need for storage adapters or attribute mappings by providing transparent persistence of Python objects. Zope also speeds up object access: Reading the Zope object database is 10 to 100 times faster than retrieving a row from the fastest relational databases available on the market today. Finally, unlike relational databases, transactions in a Zope object database can last minutes without causing...

    ...data and links between objects Zoom in For the first tool, TTP-Plan, we created a framework in Python that let us apply Python's introspection features in order to reuse, for several different purposes, the information already present in the code. For example, the help texts present in the tool are reused to produce the reference section in the written documentation. The object model of the configuration tool is visible to the user, displayed in a "Pilot-Window". The Pilot lets the us...

If they miss the domain name they want because buggy software dropped a request, the registry is faced with bad press at the minimum, and possibly expensive litigation. Why Python? AFNIC uses many programming languages (Perl, Java, PHP, PL/SQL, and Ruby) but this was the first use of Python. Like Perl and Ruby, Python includes the stand...
