coopy

coopy is a simple, transparent, non-intrusive persistence library for python language. It's released under BSD License

• Simple - you don't have to learn an API. You can use it with just one line of code.
• Transparent - you don't need to call any API functions, just your Object methods.
• Non-Intrusive - no inheritance, no interface.. only pure-python-business code.

It is based on the techniques of system snapshotting and transaction journalling. In the prevalent model, the object data is kept in memory in native object format, rather than being marshalled to an RDBMS or other data storage system. A snapshot of data is regularly saved to disk, and in addition to this, all changes are serialised and a log of transactions is also stored on disk.

$ git clone https://github.com/felipecruz/coopy.git
$ cd coopy
$ python setup.py install

Using

Simple, transparent and non-intrusive. Note that Todo could be any class that you want to persist state across method calls that modifies it's internal state.

from coopy.base import init_persistent_system
class Todo(object):
    def __init__(self):
        self.tasks = []

    def add_task(self, name, description):
        task = dict(name=name, description=description)
        self.tasks.append(task)

persistent_todo_list = init_persistent_system(Todo())
persistent_todo_list.add_task("Some Task Name", "A Task Description")

Restrictions

This should not affect end-user code

To get datetime or date objects you need to get from an internal clock. Check How to use Clock
