You'll need to define what the sweet spot is that you are aiming for. Are we talking tens of thousands of keys or billions? How big is the data (megabytes, gigabytes, terabytes?) Do you need transactional integrity (eg when are updates seen by other readers)? Do you want redundancy (data duplicated on multiple machines)? How many machines are we talking about? Should failure be automatically detected? Is there a need for security or treating the machines as untrusted? Roger -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
