Ape, short for "Adaptable Persistence", is the new name for Adaptable Storage. Ape adapts Zope objects to storage on the filesystem, in relational databases, or practically anywhere else. It combines the advantages of transparent object persistence with arbitrary databases and formats. It is especially designed to work with ZODB, but can work independently of both Zope and ZODB.

Some of the changes made since Adaptable Storage version 0.5:

  • Added the tutorial outline presented at PyCon 2003. The tutorial describes the overall design of Ape and begins to explain how to use it with your own software.
  • Added MySQL 4.0 support.
  • Changed naming conventions to fit Zope 3.
  • Improved generation and interpretation of filename extensions.
  • Fixed loading of ZClass instances.
  • Made object modification dates match file dates.
  • Many bugfixes.

Version 1.2 of DBTab removes the optional dependency on AdaptableStorage, fixes a problem with the activity monitor, and lets you choose what kind of container to create when mounting for the first time. You should use DBTab 1.2 with Ape 0.6.
