Translucent persistent objects

Project description

persistent: automatic persistence for Python objects

This package contains a generic persistence implementation for Python. It forms the core protocol for making objects interact “transparently” with a database such as the ZODB.

Please see the Sphinx documentation (docs/index.rst) for further information.

persistent Changelog

4.0.3 (2012-11-19)

  • Fixed: In the C implimentation, an integer was compared with a pointer, with undefined results and a compiler warning.

  • Fixed: the Python implementation of the _p_estimated_size propety didn’t support deletion.

  • Simplified implementation of the _p_estimated_size property to only accept integers. A TypeError is raised if an incorrect type is provided.

4.0.2 (2012-08-27)

  • Correct initialization functions in renamed _timestamp extension.

4.0.1 (2012-08-26)

  • Worked around test failure due to overflow to long on 32-bit systems.

  • Renamed TimeStamp extension module to avoid clash with pure-Python timestamp module on case-insensitive filesystems.

    N.B: the canonical way to import the TimeStamp class is now:

    from persistent.timestamp import TimeStamp

    which will yield the class from the extension module (if available), falling back to the pure-Python reference implementation.

4.0.0 (2012-08-11)

Platform Changes

  • Added explicit support for Python 3.2 and PyPy.

    • Note that the C implementations of Persistent, PickleCache, and Timestamp are not built (yet) on these platforms.

  • Dropped support for Python < 2.6.

Testing Changes

  • 100% unit test coverage.

  • Removed all ZODB-dependent tests:

    • Rewrote some to avoid the dependency

    • Cloned the remainder into new ZODB.tests modules.

  • Refactored some doctests refactored as unittests.

  • Completed pure-Python reference implementations of ‘Persistent’, ‘PickleCache’, and ‘TimeStamp’.

  • All covered platforms tested under tox.

  • Added support for continuous integration using tox and jenkins.

  • Added setup.py dev alias (installs nose and coverage).

  • Dropped dependency on zope.testing / zope.testrunner: tests now run with setup.py test.

Documentation Changes

  • Refactored many Doctests as Sphinx documentation (snippets are exercised via ‘tox’).

  • Added setup.py docs alias (installs Sphinx and repoze.sphinx.autointerface).
