[Pythoncard-users] FW: xml pickle module

XML pickle is another thing to keep in mind as we look at file storage
alternatives. David's articles (Charming Python, XML Matters, etc.) can be

Hi Kevin,

There are several articles you might want to look at.  I recently
compared the object models of xml_pickle and XML-RPC, which might be
relevant to you:

    http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/library/x-matters15.html

The update on xml_pickle (through June 2001) is at:

    http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/library/x-matters11.html

And the original introduction was at:

    http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/library/xml-matters1/index.html

I give you all the IBM URLs because they are the "official" publication.
But the same articles (formatted slightly differently) should be at my
own site (I'm not sure if I got up the XML-RPC one yet).

There are actually a bunch of enhancements to xml_pickle underway right
now (by an interested user, with mostly just comments by me... but some
code clarification).  Those may or may not be interesting to you
(mxDateTime was added; we're looking at allowing classes to customize
how they (un)pickle themselves; SREs will be handled; and there will be
a fallback to "rawpickle" format for types the [pickle] module knows
about, but [xml_pickle] doesn't [not much, I hope]).

Yours, David...
