General Information

• URL::http://buzhug.sourceforge.net licence::BSD platforms::all platforms supporting Python 2.3+

Programming Model

buzhug is a fast, portable, pure-Python database engine, using a pythonic syntax for all operations

A database is an iterator, yielding objects with attributes matching the fields defined for the base ; requests can be expressed as list comprehensions or generator expressions, instead of SQL

Pros

• most operations are faster than on other pure-Python databases
• concurrency control by versioning of records
• simple system to link databases dynamically (a record of a base can be a field of another base)
• complete documentation

Cons

• still beta : bug reports needed
• no thread-safe feature : should be used behind an asynchronous server for multiple users
