Package: Snake Jerky - Persistent Python Object Store
System name: snakejerky
Type: non-GNU

Description:
This project provides a persistent object store for the Python 

programming language.  It accomplishes this with several levels of 

abstraction.  Level 1 manages pages in mmap'ed storage.  Level 2 is a 

"heap manager" that provides the ability to allocate and free mmap'ed 

storage.  Level 3 provides for the management of a rudimentary set of 

mmap'ed objects (integers, floats, strings, lists, and dictionaries).  

Level 4 exposes these mmap'ed objects to Python for use as persistent 

objects.  A Python base class provides the final layer of 

abstraction, allowing full-fledged Python objects to be stored in the 

persistent object store.  Rudimentary synchronization is provided to 

allow for multi-threaded and multi-process access to the object 

store. 

The source for this project can be found at 

http://jot.andstuff.org/persist.tar.gz.

Other Software Required:
This project depends on GCC (for the use of assembler statements for 

low-level compare-and-swap operations) and on Python 2.1 or greater.
