A year or so ago, there was a posting - I believe on someone's blog - which told of a unique experiment. The experimenter tried loading and searching a large XML document based on three strategies:
1. (I think) elementree directly 2. Store entire XML document in ZODB (or Durus, can't remember) 3. Subclass Elementree.Element, store each XML node separately in the ZODB/Durus. The experimenter then did timings on opening up and using the XML documents in each of these three ways. Does anybody remember that post? Does any body have a link, code, cache, anything? Please reply to the list, as the email address is invalid. Thanks, E. List -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
