So I have this little project called NodeDB. It is a Python powered document oriented database similar in some ways to CouchDB, Amazon Simple DB, or Google BigTables. It is barely big enough to be considered a project at this point but I believe in releasing early and often.
Today I released the second alpha of version 0.1.0… How is that for hedging my bets? This release includes:
- Persistent filesystem storage of nodes
- Logging to standard error
- A running test suite
The next alpha version (slated to release in a couple of weeks) will add the beginnings of an indexing system and configuration files.
You can find my little project in its source code repository or on PyPi.

Hi Jeff, the mercurial repo seems to be down, easy_install could not “easy install” — is the project dead, buried and barred?
I’m looking for a portable document-oriented database for a python app with as less dependencies as possible. This page describes something that perfectly fits this requirement. Maybe you could give a hint what other project should I try in case you’ve abandoned NodeDB?
Thanks,
Andy

I am not working on this project at this point, but I will take a look into the data being not available.

Thanks for your response. Unfortunately, the repository is still unavailable. Meanwhile, I downloaded the egg from http://pypi.python.org/pypi/nodedb with 0.1.0a2, unzipped it and discovered that it requires some storage_engine module. What could it be? I expected the library to be pure Python; was probably wrong. Or maybe the most important part is not published…
