It's a ORM, not a complete relational solution, mind you. However, while it's architecturally oriented towards solving the high-level SQL-to-object mapping issues, a good deal of time is spent solving things that a common plug & play API could solve. IOW: the hard problem really does exist. However, we never come to face it because we're still stuck in the "easy" one. :-( -- Carlos Ribeiro Consultoria em Projetos blog: http://rascunhosrotos.blogspot.com blog: http://pythonnotes.blogspot.com mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
