ZODB

Introduction

The ZODB package provides a set of tools for using the Zope Object Database (ZODB).

Our primary development platforms are Linux and Mac OS X. The test suite should pass without error on these platforms and, hopefully, Windows, although it can take a long time on Windows -- longer if you use ZoneAlarm.

Compatibility

ZODB 4.0 requires Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.2, or 3.3.

Travis: buildstatus_ winbot: winbotstatus_

Prerequisites

You must have Python installed. If you're using a system Python install, make sure development support is installed too.

You also need the transaction, BTrees, persistent, zc.lockfile, ZConfig, zdaemon, zope.event, zope.interface, zope.proxy and zope.testing packages. If you don't have them and you can connect to the Python Package Index, then these will be installed for you if you don't have them.

Installation

ZODB is released as a distutils package. The easiest ways to build and install it are to use easy_install, or zc.buildout.

To install by hand, first install the dependencies, ZConfig, zdaemon, zope.interface, zope.proxy and zope.testing. These can be found in the Python Package Index.

To run the tests, use the test setup command:

python setup.py test

It will download dependencies if needed. If this happens, ou may get an import error when the test command gets to looking for tests. Try running the test command a second time and you should see the tests run.

python setup.py test

To install, use the install command:

python setup.py install

Testing for Developers

The ZODB checkouts are buildouts. When working from a ZODB checkout, first run the bootstrap.py script to initialize the buildout:

% python bootstrap.py

and then use the buildout script to build ZODB and gather the dependencies:

% bin/buildout

This creates a test script:

% bin/test -v

This command will run all the tests, printing a single dot for each test. When it finishes, it will print a test summary. The exact number of tests can vary depending on platform and available third-party libraries.:

Ran 1182 tests in 241.269s

OK

The test script has many more options. Use the -h or --help options to see a file list of options. The default test suite omits several tests that depend on third-party software or that take a long time to run. To run all the available tests use the --all option. Running all the tests takes much longer.:

Ran 1561 tests in 1461.557s

OK

Maintenance scripts

Several scripts are provided with the ZODB and can help for analyzing, debugging, checking for consistency, summarizing content, reporting space used by objects, doing backups, artificial load testing, etc. Look at the ZODB/script directory for more informations.
