!!! [DITrack | http://www.ditrack.org/]

Distributed issue tracker.

!!! [IPython | http://ipython.scipy.org/moin/]

Enhanced Python shell.

!!! [buzhug | http://buzhug.sourceforge.net/]

!! What it does

A fast, pure-Python database engine

The data is stored and accessed on disk (it is not an in-memory database) ; the implementation has been designed to make all operations, and especially selection, as fast as possible with an interpreted language

!! Basic Usage

The database is implemented as a Python iterator, yielding objects whose attributes are the fields defined when the base is created ; therefore, requests can be expressed as list comprehensions or generator expressions, instead of SQL queries :

%%prettify 
{{{
for record in [ r for r in db if r.name == 'pierre' ]:
	print record.name,record.age

}}}
/%

instead of

%%prettify 
{{{
cursor.execute("SELECT * IN db WHERE name = 'pierre'")
for r in cursor.fetchall():
	print r[0],r[1]

}}}
/%
