\subsection{BTrees Package}
When programming with the ZODB, Python dictionaries aren't always what
you need. The most important case is where you want to store a very
large mapping. When a Python dictionary is accessed in a ZODB, the
whole dictionary has to be unpickled and brought into memory. If
you're storing something very large, such as a 100,000-entry user
database, unpickling such a large object will be slow. B-trees are a
database, unpickling such a large object will be slow. BTrees are a
balanced tree data structure that behave like a mapping but distribute
keys throughout a number of tree nodes. Nodes are then only unpickled
and brought into memory as they're accessed, so the entire tree
doesn't have to occupy memory (unless you really are touching every
single key).
There are four different BTree modules provided. One of them, the
\module{BTree} module, provides the most general data type; the keys
and values in the B-tree can be any Python object. Some specialized B-tree
modules require that the keys, and perhaps even the values, to be of a
certain type, and provide faster performance because of this limitation.
\begin{itemize}
\item[ \module{IOBTree} ] requires the keys to be integers.
The module name reminds you of this; the \module{IOBTree} module
maps Integers to Objects.
\item[ \module{OIBTree} ] requires the values to be integers,
mapping Objects to Integers.
\item[ \module{IIBTree} ] is strictest, requiring that both keys and values must be integers.
\end{itemize}
To use a B-tree, simply import the desired module and call the
constructor, always named \function{BTree()}, to get a B-tree
instance, and then use it like any other mapping:
keys throughout a number of tree nodes. The nodes are stored in
sorted order. Nodes are then only unpickled and brought into memory
as they're accessed, so the entire tree doesn't have to occupy memory
(unless you really are touching every single key).
The BTrees package provides a large collection of related data
structures. There are variants of the data structures specialized to
handle integer values, which are faster and use less memory. There
are four modules that handle the different variants. The first two
letters of the module name specify the types of the keys and values in
mappings -- O for any object and I for integer. The
\module{BTrees.IOBTree} module provides a mapping that accepts integer
keys and arbitrary objects as values.
The four data structures provide by each module are a btree, a bucket,
a tree set, and a set. The btree and bucket types are mappings and
support all the usual mapping methods, e.g. \function{update()} and
\function{keys()}. The tree set and set types are similar to mappings
but they have no values; they support the methods that make sense for
a mapping with no keys, e.g. \function{keys()} but not
\function{items()}. The bucket and set types are the individual
building blocks for btrees and tree sets, respectively. A bucket or
set can be used when you are sure that it will have few elements. If
the data structure will grow large, you should use a btree or tree
set.
The four modules are named \module{OOBTree}, \module{IOBTree},
\module{OIBTree}, and \module{IIBTree}. The two letter prefixes are
repeated in the data types names. The \module{BTrees.OOBTree} module
defines the following types: \class{OOBTree}, \class{OOBucket},
\class{OOSet}, and \class{OOTreeSet}.
The \function{keys()}, \function{values()}, and \function{items()}
methods do not materialize a list with all of the data. Instead, they
return lazy sequences that fetch data from the BTree as needed. They
also support optional arguments to specify the minium and maximum
values to return.
A BTree object supports all the methods you would expect of a mapping
with a few extensions that exploit the fact that the keys are sorted.
The example below demonstrates how some of the methods work. The
extra methods re \function{minKey()} and \function{maxKey()}, which
find the minimum and maximum key value subject to an optional bound
argument, and \function{byValue()}, which returns value, key pairs
in reversed sorted order subject to an optional minimum bound argument.
\begin{verbatim}
import IIBTree
iimap = IIBTree.BTree()
iimap[1972] = 27
>>> from BTrees.OOBTree import OOBTree
>>> t = OOBTree()
>>> t.update({ 1: "red", 2: "green", 3: "blue", 4: "spades" })
>>> len(t)
4
>>> t[2]
'green'
>>> t.keys()
<OOBTreeItems object at 0x40269098>
>>> [k for k in t.keys()] # use a listcomp to get a printable sequence
[1, 2, 3, 4]
>>> [k for k in t.values()]
['red', 'green', 'blue', 'spades']
>>> [k for k in t.values(1, 2)]
['red', 'green']
>>> [k for k in t.values(2)]
['green', 'blue', 'spades']
>>> t.byValue("glue") # all values > "glue"
[('spades', 4), ('red', 1), ('green', 2)]
>>> t.minKey(1.5)
2
\end{verbatim}
Each of the modules also defines some functions that operate on
BTrees -- \function{difference()}, \function{union()}, and
\function{difference()}. The \function{difference()} function returns
a bucket, while the other two methods return a set.
If the keys are integers, then the module also defines
\function{multiunion()}. If the values are integers, then the module
also defines \function{weightedIntersection()} and
\function{weighterUnion()}. The function doc strings describe each
function briefly.

\subsubsection{Requirements}
You'll need Python, of course; version 1.5.2 works with some fixes,
and it also works with Python 2.0, which is what I primarily use.
The code is packaged using Distutils, the new distribution tools for
Python introduced in Python 2.0. If you're using 1.5.2, first you'll
have to get the latest Distutils release from the Distutils SIG page
at \url{http://www.python.org/sigs/distutils-sig/download.html} and

You will need Python 2.1 or higher. The code is packaged using
Distutils. So it is simply a matter of untarring or unzipping the
release package, and then running \code{python setup.py install}.
If you're using 1.5.2 and have installed previous versions of the
Distutils, be sure to get the very latest version, since developing
the ZODB distribution turned up some bugs along the way. If you
encounter problems compiling \file{ZODB/TimeStamp.c} or your compiler reports
an error like ``Can't create build/temp.linux2/ExtensionClass.o: No
such file or directory'', you need an updated version. Old versions of
Distutils have two bugs which affect the setup scripts. First, for a
long time the \code{define_macros} keyword in setup.py files didn't work due
to a Distutils bug, so I hacked TimeStamp.c in earlier releases. The
Distutils have since been fixed, and the hack became unnecessary, so I
removed it. Second, the code that creates directories tries to be
smart and caches them to save time by not trying to create a directory
twice, but this code was broken in old versions.
You'll need a C compiler to build the packages, because there are
various C extension modules. At the moment no one is making Windows
binaries available, so you'll need a Windows development environment to use the
binaries available, so you'll need a Windows development environment
to build ZODB.
\subsubsection{Installing the Packages}
Download the ZODB tarball containing all the packages for both ZODB
and ZEO from \url{http://www.amk.ca/files/zodb/}.
To build the packages, you must go into the individual directories and
build and install them one by one. They should be built and installed
in this order:
\begin{enumerate}
\item \code{zodb-basic}
\item ExtensionClass
\item ZODB
\item \code{BTree} and \code{BTrees}
\item ZEO
\end{enumerate}
In particular, you must install ExtensionClass before building the
ZODB package; otherwise, the compilation in the ZODB package will die
complaining that it can't find ExtensionClass.h. You can manually
hack the \#include path to make it work without installing
ExtensionClass first, but that's a bit hackish.
If you encounter any problems, please let me know at

\subsubsection{Fixing \function{isinstance} and \function{issubclass}}
Python's built-in functions
\function{isinstance()} and \function{issubclass} don't
work on ExtensionClass instances, for much the same reason that
\method{__cmp__} is never called; in some bits of the Python core code,
branches are taken only if an object is of the \class{InstanceType}
type, and this can never be true for an ExtensionClass instance.
Python 2.1 tried to fix this, and changed these functions slightly in
an effort to make them work for ExtensionClasses; unfortunately, the
changes didn't work.
The solution is to use customized versions of these functions that
handle ExtensionClasses specially and fall back to the built-in
version otherwise. Here are the versions we've written at the MEMS Exchange:
\begin{verbatim}
# The built-in 'isinstance()' and 'issubclass()' won't work on
# ExtensionClasses, so you have to use the versions supplied here.

# they aren't regular Python classes, but they sure look like them.

return __builtin__.isinstance(object, klass)
elif hasattr(object, '__class__'):
return issubclass(object.__class__, klass)
else:

\end{verbatim}
I'd recommend putting these functions in a module that always gets
imported. The convention on my work project is to put them in
\file{mems/lib/base.py}, which contains various fundamental classes
and functions for our system, and access them like this:
\begin{verbatim}
from mems.lib import base
...
if base.isinstance(object, Class): ...
\end{verbatim}
Don't insert the modified functions into Python's
\module{__builtin__} module, or import just the
\function{isinstance()} and \function{issubclass} functions.
If you consistently use \function{base.isinstance()}, then forgetting
to import the \module{base} module will result in a
\exception{NameError} exception. In the
case of a forgotten import, calling the functions directly would use
Python's built-in versions, leading to subtle bugs that might not be

To run a ZEO server, you'll need Python 1.5.2 or 2.0, and the ZODB
packages from \url{http://www.amk.ca/files/zodb/}
have to be installed.
The ZEO server software is included in ZODB3. As with the rest of
ZODB3, you'll need Python 2.1 or higher.
\emph{Note for Python 1.5.2 users}: ZEO requires updated versions
of the \module{asyncore.py} and \module{asynchat.py} modules that are
included in 1.5.2's standard library. Current versions of the ZODB
distribution install private versions of these modules, so you
shouldn't need to grab updated versions yourself. (The symptom of
this problem is a traceback on attempting to run a ZEO client program:
the traceback is ``TypeError: too many arguments; expected 2, got 3''
around line 100 of \file{smac.py}.
\subsubsection{Running a server}
\subsubsection{Installation}
Installing the ZEO package is easy. Just run \code{python setup.py
install}. This will install the ZEO/ package into your Python
installation, and copy various files into their proper locations:
\file{zeo.conf} will be put into \file{/usr/local/etc/}, a \file{zeo} startup
script will be put in \file{/etc/rc.d/init.d/}, and the \file{zeod}
daemon program will be placed in \file{/usr/local/bin}.
\subsection{Configuring and Running a ZEO Server}
Edit \code{/usr/local/etc/zeo.conf} appropriately for your desired
setup. This configuration file controls the port on which ZEO will
listen for connections, the user and group IDs under which the server
will be executed, and the location of the concrete \class{Storage}
object that will be made network-accessible.
The start.py script in the ZEO directory can be used to start a
server. Run it with the -h option to see the various values. If
you're just experimenting, a good choise is to use
\code{python ZEO/start.py -D -U /tmp/zeosocket} to run ZEO in
debug mode and with a Unix domain socket.

ZEO is written using \module{asyncore}, from the Python standard
library. It assumes that some part of the user application is running
an \module{asyncore} mainloop. For example, Zope run the loop in a
separate thread and ZEO uses that. If your application does not have
a mainloop, ZEO will not process incoming invalidation messages until
you make some call into ZEO. The \method{Connection.sync} method can
be used to process pending invalidation messages. You can call it

<P>
You'll need Python, of course; version 1.5.2 works with some fixes,
and it also works with Python 2.0, which is what I primarily use.
<P>
The code is packaged using Distutils, the new distribution tools for
Python introduced in Python 2.0. If you're using 1.5.2, first you'll
have to get the latest Distutils release from the Distutils SIG page
at <a class="url" href="http://www.python.org/sigs/distutils-sig/download.html">http://www.python.org/sigs/distutils-sig/download.html</a> and
install it. This is simply a matter of untarring or unzipping the
You will need Python 2.1 or higher. The code is packaged using
Distutils. So it is simply a matter of untarring or unzipping the
release package, and then running <code>python setup.py install</code>.
<P>
If you're using 1.5.2 and have installed previous versions of the
Distutils, be sure to get the very latest version, since developing
the ZODB distribution turned up some bugs along the way. If you
encounter problems compiling <span class="file">ZODB/TimeStamp.c</span> or your compiler reports
an error like ``Can't create build/temp.linux2/ExtensionClass.o: No
such file or directory'', you need an updated version. Old versions of
Distutils have two bugs which affect the setup scripts. First, for a
long time the <code>define_macros</code> keyword in setup.py files didn't work due
to a Distutils bug, so I hacked TimeStamp.c in earlier releases. The
Distutils have since been fixed, and the hack became unnecessary, so I
removed it. Second, the code that creates directories tries to be
smart and caches them to save time by not trying to create a directory
twice, but this code was broken in old versions.
<P>
You'll need a C compiler to build the packages, because there are
various C extension modules. At the moment no one is making Windows
binaries available, so you'll need a Windows development environment to use the
binaries available, so you'll need a Windows development environment
to build ZODB.

<P>
To build the packages, you must go into the individual directories and
build and install them one by one. They should be built and installed
in this order:

<P>
In particular, you must install ExtensionClass before building the
ZODB package; otherwise, the compilation in the ZODB package will die
complaining that it can't find ExtensionClass.h. You can manually
hack the #include path to make it work without installing
ExtensionClass first, but that's a bit hackish.

Usually this is done by defining a database schema, and requiring
the data always matches the schema. There are two typical
approaches to consistency. One is to enforce rules about the types
of objects and attribute; for example, enforce that the
<code>order_number</code> attribute is always an integer, and not a
string, tuple, or other object. Another is to guarantee consistency
across data structures; for example, that any object with an
<code>order_number</code> attribute must also appear in the
<code>orders_table</code> object. In general, atomicity and isolation make
it possible for applications to provide consistency.

<P>
Python's built-in functions
<tt class="function">isinstance()</tt> and <tt class="function">issubclass</tt> don't
work on ExtensionClass instances, for much the same reason that
<tt class="method">__cmp__</tt> is never called; in some bits of the Python core code,
branches are taken only if an object is of the <tt class="class">InstanceType</tt>
type, and this can never be true for an ExtensionClass instance.
Python 2.1 tried to fix this, and changed these functions slightly in
an effort to make them work for ExtensionClasses; unfortunately, the
changes didn't work.
<P>
The solution is to use customized versions of these functions that
handle ExtensionClasses specially and fall back to the built-in
version otherwise. Here are the versions we've written at the MEMS Exchange:
<P>
<dl><dd><pre class="verbatim">
# The built-in 'isinstance()' and 'issubclass()' won't work on
# ExtensionClasses, so you have to use the versions supplied here.
# (But those versions work fine on regular instances and classes too,
# so you should *always* use them.)
def issubclass (class1, class2):
"""A version of 'issubclass' that works with extension classes
as well as regular Python classes.
"""
# Both class objects are regular Python classes, so use the
# built-in 'issubclass()'.
if type(class1) is ClassType and type(class2) is ClassType:
return __builtin__.issubclass(class1, class2)
# Both so-called class objects have a '__bases__' attribute: ie.,
# they aren't regular Python classes, but they sure look like them.
# Assume they are extension classes and reimplement what the builtin
# 'issubclass()' does behind the scenes.
elif hasattr(class1, '__bases__') and hasattr(class2, '__bases__'):
# XXX it appears that "ec.__class__ is type(ec)" for an
# extension class 'ec': could we/should we use this as an
# additional check for extension classes?
# Breadth-first traversal of class1's superclass tree. Order
# doesn't matter because we're just looking for a "yes/no"
# answer from the tree; if we were trying to resolve a name,
# order would be important!
stack = [class1]
while stack:
if stack[0] is class2:
return 1
stack.extend(list(stack[0].__bases__))
del stack[0]
else:
return 0
# Not a regular class, not an extension class: blow up for consistency
# with builtin 'issubclass()"
else:
raise TypeError, "arguments must be class or ExtensionClass objects"
# issubclass ()
def isinstance (object, klass):
"""A version of 'isinstance' that works with extension classes
as well as regular Python classes."""
if type(klass) is TypeType:
return __builtin__.isinstance(object, klass)
elif hasattr(object, '__class__'):
return issubclass(object.__class__, klass)
else:
return 0
</pre></dl>
<P>
I'd recommend putting these functions in a module that always gets
imported. The convention on my work project is to put them in
<span class="file">mems/lib/base.py</span>, which contains various fundamental classes
and functions for our system, and access them like this:
<P>
<dl><dd><pre class="verbatim">
from mems.lib import base
...
if base.isinstance(object, Class): ...
</pre></dl>
<P>
Don't insert the modified functions into Python's
<tt class="module">__builtin__</tt> module, or import just the
<tt class="function">isinstance()</tt> and <tt class="function">issubclass</tt> functions.
If you consistently use <tt class="function">base.isinstance()</tt>, then forgetting
to import the <tt class="module">base</tt> module will result in a
<tt class="exception">NameError</tt> exception. In the
case of a forgotten import, calling the functions directly would use
Python's built-in versions, leading to subtle bugs that might not be
noticed for some time.
Recent versions of ZODB allow writing persistent classes that have
<tt class="method">__getattr__</tt>, <tt class="method">__delattr__</tt>, or <tt class="method">__setattr__</tt>
methods. The one minor complication is that the machinery for
automatically detecting changes to the object is disabled while the
<tt class="method">__getattr__</tt>, <tt class="method">__delattr__</tt>, or <tt class="method">__setattr__</tt>
method is executing. This means that if the object is modified, the
object should be marked as dirty by setting the object's
<tt class="member">_p_changed</tt> method to true.

Recent versions of ZODB allow writing persistent classes that have
<tt class="method">__getattr__</tt>, <tt class="method">__delattr__</tt>, or <tt class="method">__setattr__</tt>
methods. The one minor complication is that the machinery for
automatically detecting changes to the object is disabled while the
<tt class="method">__getattr__</tt>, <tt class="method">__delattr__</tt>, or <tt class="method">__setattr__</tt>
method is executing. This means that if the object is modified, the
object should be marked as dirty by setting the object's
<tt class="member">_p_changed</tt> method to true.
Now that we've looked at the basics of programming using the ZODB,
we'll turn to some more subtle tasks that are likely to come up for
anyone using the ZODB in a production system.

<P>
Now that we've looked at the basics of programming using the ZODB,
we'll turn to some more subtle tasks that are likely to come up for
anyone using the ZODB in a production system.
Ideally, before making a class persistent you would get its interface
right the first time, so that no attributes would ever need to be
added, removed, or have their interpretation change over time. It's a
worthy goal, but also an impractical one unless you're gifted with
perfect knowledge of the future. Such unnatural foresight can't be
required of any person, so you therefore have to be prepared to handle
such structural changes gracefully. In object-oriented database
terminology, this is a schema update. The ZODB doesn't have an actual
schema specification, but you're changing the software's expectations
of the data contained by an object, so you're implicitly changing the
schema.
<P>
One way to handle such a change is to write a one-time conversion
program that will loop over every single object in the database and
update them to match the new schema. This can be easy if your network
of object references is quite structured, making it easy to find all
the instances of the class being modified. For example, if all
<tt class="class">User</tt> objects can be found inside a single dictionary or
BTree, then it would be a simple matter to loop over every
<tt class="class">User</tt> instance with a <tt class="keyword">for</tt> statement.
This is more difficult if your object graph is less structured; if
<tt class="class">User</tt> objects can be found as attributes of any number of
different class instances, then there's no longer any easy way to find
them all, short of writing a generalized object traversal function
that would walk over every single object in a ZODB, checking each one
to see if it's an instance of <tt class="class">User</tt>.
<A NAME="tex2html1"
HREF="#foot262"><SUP>1</SUP></A>Some OODBs support a feature called extents, which allow quickly
finding all the instances of a given class, no matter where they are
in the object graph; unfortunately the ZODB doesn't offer extents as a
feature.

3.1 How ZEO Works</A>
</H2>
<P>
The ZODB, as I've described it so far, can only be used within a
single Python process (though perhaps with multiple threads). ZEO,
Zope Enterprise Objects, extends the ZODB machinery to provide access
to objects over a network. The name "Zope Enterprise Objects" is a
bit misleading; ZEO can be used to store Python objects and access
them in a distributed fashion without Zope ever entering the picture.
The combination of ZEO and ZODB is essentially a Python-specific
object database.
<P>
ZEO consists of about 6000 lines of Python code, excluding tests. The
code is relatively small because it contains only code for a TCP/IP
server, and for a new type of Storage, <tt class="class">ClientStorage</tt>.
<tt class="class">ClientStorage</tt> simply makes remote procedure calls to the
server, which then passes them on a regular <tt class="class">Storage</tt> class such
as <tt class="class">FileStorage</tt>. The following diagram lays out the system:
<P>
XXX insert diagram here later
<P>
Any number of processes can create a <tt class="class">ClientStorage</tt>
instance, and any number of threads in each process can be using that
instance. <tt class="class">ClientStorage</tt> aggressively caches objects
locally, so in order to avoid using stale data. The ZEO server sends
an invalidation message to all the connected <tt class="class">ClientStorage</tt>
instances on every write operation. The invalidation message contains
the object ID for each object that's been modified, letting the
<tt class="class">ClientStorage</tt> instances delete the old data for the
given object from their caches.
<P>
This design decision has some consequences you should be aware of.
First, while ZEO isn't tied to Zope, it was first written for use with
Zope, which stores HTML, images, and program code in the database. As
a result, reads from the database are <i>far</i> more frequent than
writes, and ZEO is therefore better suited for read-intensive
applications. If every <tt class="class">ClientStorage</tt> is writing to the
database all the time, this will result in a storm of invalidate
messages being sent, and this might take up more processing time than
the actual database operations themselves.<A NAME="tex2html2"
HREF="#foot429"><SUP>2</SUP></A>
<P>
On the other hand, for applications that have few writes in comparison
to the number of read accesses, this aggressive caching can be a major
win. Consider a Slashdot-like discussion forum that divides the load
among several Web servers. If news items and postings are represented
by objects and accessed through ZEO, then the most heavily accessed
objects - the most recent or most popular postings - will very
quickly wind up in the caches of the
<tt class="class">ClientStorage</tt> instances on the front-end servers. The
back-end ZEO server will do relatively little work, only being called
upon to return the occasional older posting that's requested, and to
send the occasional invalidate message when a new posting is added.
The ZEO server isn't going to be contacted for every single request,
so its workload will remain manageable.

messages being sent, and this might take up more processing time than
the actual database operations themselves.
<P>
On the other hand, for applications that have few writes in comparison
to the number of read accesses, this aggressive caching can be a major
win. Consider a Slashdot-like discussion forum that divides the load
among several Web servers. If news items and postings are represented
by objects and accessed through ZEO, then the most heavily accessed
objects - the most recent or most popular postings - will very
quickly wind up in the caches of the
<tt class="class">ClientStorage</tt> instances on the front-end servers. The
back-end ZEO server will do relatively little work, only being called
upon to return the occasional older posting that's requested, and to
send the occasional invalidate message when a new posting is added.
The ZEO server isn't going to be contacted for every single request,
so its workload will remain manageable.

<P>
To run a ZEO server, you'll need Python 1.5.2 or 2.0, and the ZODB
packages from <a class="url" href="http://www.amk.ca/files/zodb/">http://www.amk.ca/files/zodb/</a>have to be installed.
<P>
<i>Note for Python 1.5.2 users</i>: ZEO requires updated versions
of the <tt class="module">asyncore.py</tt> and <tt class="module">asynchat.py</tt> modules that are
included in 1.5.2's standard library. Current versions of the ZODB
distribution install private versions of these modules, so you
shouldn't need to grab updated versions yourself. (The symptom of
this problem is a traceback on attempting to run a ZEO client program:
the traceback is ``TypeError: too many arguments; expected 2, got 3''
around line 100 of <span class="file">smac.py</span>.
The start.py script in the ZEO directory can be used to start a
server. Run it with the -h option to see the various values. If
you're just experimenting, a good choise is to use
<code>python ZEO/start.py -D -U /tmp/zeosocket</code> to run ZEO in
debug mode and with a Unix domain socket.

<P>
Once a ZEO server is up and running, using it is just like using ZODB
with a more conventional disk-based storage; no new programming
details are introduced by using a remote server. The only difference
is that programs must create a <tt class="class">ClientStorage</tt> instance instead
of a <tt class="class">FileStorage</tt> instance. From that point onward, ZODB-based
code is happily unaware that objects are being retrieved from a ZEO
server, and not from the local disk.
<P>
As an example, and to test whether ZEO is working correctly, try
running the following lines of code, which will connect to the server,
add some bits of data to the root of the ZODB, and commits the
transaction:
<P>
<div class="verbatim"><pre>
from ZEO import ClientStorage
from ZODB import DB
# Change next line to connect to your ZEO server
addr = ('kronos.example.com', 1975)
storage = ClientStorage.ClientStorage(addr)
db = DB(storage)
conn = db.open()
root = conn.root()
# Store some things in the root
root['list'] = ['a', 'b', 1.0, 3]
root['dict'] = {'a':1, 'b':4}
# Commit the transaction
get_transaction().commit()
</pre></div>
<P>
Installing the ZEO package is easy. Just run <code>python setup.py
install</code>. This will install the ZEO/ package into your Python
installation, and copy various files into their proper locations:
<span class="file">zeo.conf</span> will be put into <span class="file">/usr/local/etc/</span>, a <span class="file">zeo</span> startup
script will be put in <span class="file">/etc/rc.d/init.d/</span>, and the <span class="file">zeod</span>
daemon program will be placed in <span class="file">/usr/local/bin</span>.
If this code runs properly, then your ZEO server is working correctly.

<P>
Edit <code>/usr/local/etc/zeo.conf</code> appropriately for your desired
setup. This configuration file controls the port on which ZEO will
listen for connections, the user and group IDs under which the server
will be executed, and the location of the concrete <tt class="class">Storage</tt>
object that will be made network-accessible.
ZEO is written using <tt class="module">asyncore</tt>, from the Python standard
library. It assumes that some part of the user application is running
an <tt class="module">asyncore</tt> mainloop. For example, Zope run the loop in a
separate thread and ZEO uses that. If your application does not have
a mainloop, ZEO will not process incoming invalidation messages until
you make some call into ZEO. The <tt class="method">Connection.sync</tt> method can
be used to process pending invalidation messages. You can call it
when you want to make sure the <tt class="class">Connection</tt> has the most recent
version of every object, but you don't have any other work for ZEO to do.

</H2>
<P>
Once a ZEO server is up and running, using it is just like using ZODB
with a more conventional disk-based storage; no new programming
details are introduced by using a remote server. The only difference
is that programs must create a <tt class="class">ClientStorage</tt> instance instead
of a <tt class="class">FileStorage</tt> instance. From that point onward, ZODB-based
code is happily unaware that objects are being retrieved from a ZEO
server, and not from the local disk.
For an example application, we'll build a little chat application.
What's interesting is that none of the application's code deals with
network programming at all; instead, an object will hold chat
messages, and be magically shared between all the clients through ZEO.
I won't present the complete script here; it's included in my ZODB
distribution, and you can download it from
<a class="url" href="http://www.amk.ca/zodb/demos/">http://www.amk.ca/zodb/demos/</a>. Only the interesting portions of
the code will be covered here.
<P>
The basic data structure is the <tt class="class">ChatSession</tt> object,
which provides an <tt class="method">add_message()</tt> method that adds a
message, and a <tt class="method">new_messages()</tt> method that returns a list
of new messages that have accumulated since the last call to
<tt class="method">new_messages()</tt>. Internally, <tt class="class">ChatSession</tt>
maintains a B-tree that uses the time as the key, and stores the
message as the corresponding value.
<P>
The constructor for <tt class="class">ChatSession</tt> is pretty simple; it simply
creates an attribute containing a B-tree:
<P>
<div class="verbatim"><pre>
class ChatSession(Persistent):
def __init__(self, name):
self.name = name
# Internal attribute: _messages holds all the chat messages.
self._messages = BTrees.OOBTree.OOBTree()
</pre></div>
<P>
<tt class="method">add_message()</tt> has to add a message to the
<code>_messages</code> B-tree. A complication is that it's possible
that some other client is trying to add a message at the same time;
when this happens, the client that commits first wins, and the second
client will get a <tt class="exception">ConflictError</tt> exception when it tries to
commit. For this application, <tt class="exception">ConflictError</tt> isn't serious
but simply means that the operation has to be retried; other
applications might treat it as a fatal error. The code uses
<code>try...except...else</code> inside a <code>while</code> loop,
breaking out of the loop when the commit works without raising an
exception.
<P>
<div class="verbatim"><pre>
def add_message(self, message):
"""Add a message to the channel.
message -- text of the message to be added
"""
while 1:
try:
now = time.time()
self._messages[now] = message
get_transaction().commit()
except ConflictError:
# Conflict occurred; this process should pause and
# wait for a little bit, then try again.
time.sleep(.2)
pass
else:
# No ConflictError exception raised, so break
# out of the enclosing while loop.
break
# end while
</pre></div>
<P>
<tt class="method">new_messages()</tt> introduces the use of <i>volatile</i>
attributes. Attributes of a persistent object that begin with
<code>_v_</code> are considered volatile and are never stored in the
database. <tt class="method">new_messages()</tt> needs to store the last time
the method was called, but if the time was stored as a regular
attribute, its value would be committed to the database and shared
with all the other clients. <tt class="method">new_messages()</tt> would then
return the new messages accumulated since any other client called
<tt class="method">new_messages()</tt>, which isn't what we want.
<P>
<div class="verbatim"><pre>
def new_messages(self):
"Return new messages."
# self._v_last_time is the time of the most recent message
# returned to the user of this class.
if not hasattr(self, '_v_last_time'):
self._v_last_time = 0
new = []
T = self._v_last_time
for T2, message in self._messages.items():
if T2 &gt; T:
new.append(message)
self._v_last_time = T2
return new
</pre></div>
<P>
As an example, and to test whether ZEO is working correctly, try
running the following lines of code, which will connect to the server,
add some bits of data to the root of the ZODB, and commits the
transaction:
This application is interesting because it uses ZEO to easily share a
data structure; ZEO and ZODB are being used for their networking
ability, not primarily for their data storage ability. I can foresee
many interesting applications using ZEO in this way:
<P>
<dl><dd><pre class="verbatim">
from ZEO import ClientStorage
from ZODB import DB
# Change next line to connect to your ZEO server
addr = ('kronos.example.com', 1975)
storage = ClientStorage.ClientStorage(addr)
db = DB(storage)
conn = db.open()
root = conn.root()
<UL>
<LI>With a Tkinter front-end, and a cleverer, more scalable data
structure, you could build a shared whiteboard using the same

<P>
</LI>
<LI>A shared chessboard object would make writing a networked chess

# Store some things in the root
root['list'] = ['a', 'b', 1.0, 3]
root['dict'] = {'a':1, 'b':4}
<P>
</LI>
<LI>You could create a Python class containing a CD's title and
track information. To make a CD database, a read-only ZEO server
could be opened to the world, or an HTTP or XML-RPC interface could
be written on top of the ZODB.
# Commit the transaction
get_transaction().commit()
</pre></dl>
<P>
</LI>
<LI>A program like Quicken could use a ZODB on the local disk to
store its data. This avoids the need to write and maintain
specialized I/O code that reads in your objects and writes them out;
instead you can concentrate on the problem domain, writing objects
that represent cheques, stock portfolios, or whatever.
<P>
If this code runs properly, then your ZEO server is working correctly.

<P>
This application is interesting because it uses ZEO to easily share a
data structure; ZEO and ZODB are being used for their networking
ability, not primarily for their data storage ability. I can foresee
many interesting applications using ZEO in this way:
Subtransactions can be created within a transaction. Each
subtransaction can be individually committed and aborted, but the
changes within a subtransaction are not truly committed until the
containing transaction is committed.
<P>
<UL>
<LI>With a Tkinter front-end, and a cleverer, more scalable data
structure, you could build a shared whiteboard using the same
technique.
The primary purpose of subtransactions is to decrease the memory usage
of transactions that touch a very large number of objects. Consider a
transaction during which 200,000 objects are modified. All the
objects that are modified in a single transaction have to remain in
memory until the transaction is committed, because the ZODB can't
discard them from the object cache. This can potentially make the
memory usage quite large. With subtransactions, a commit can be be
performed at intervals, say, every 10,000 objects. Those 10,000
objects are then written to permanent storage and can be purged from
the cache to free more space.
<P>
</LI>
<LI>A shared chessboard object would make writing a networked chess
game easy.
To commit a subtransaction instead of a full transaction,
pass a true value to the <tt class="method">commit()</tt>
or <tt class="method">abort()</tt> method of the <tt class="class">Transaction</tt> object.
<P>
</LI>
<LI>You could create a Python class containing a CD's title and
track information. To make a CD database, a read-only ZEO server
could be opened to the world, or an HTTP or XML-RPC interface could
be written on top of the ZODB.
<div class="verbatim"><pre>
# Commit a subtransaction
get_transaction().commit(1)
<P>
</LI>
<LI>A program like Quicken could use a ZODB on the local disk to
store its data. This avoids the need to write and maintain

# Abort a subtransaction

A new subtransaction is automatically started on committing or
aborting the previous subtransaction.

Some types of <tt class="class">Storage</tt> support undoing a transaction even after
it's been committed. You can tell if this is the case by calling the
<tt class="method">supportsUndo()</tt> method of the <tt class="class">DB</tt> instance, which
returns true if the underlying storage supports undo. Alternatively
you can call the <tt class="method">supportsUndo()</tt> method on the underlying
storage instance.

If a database supports undo, then the <tt class="method">undoLog(<var>start</var>,

the log of past transactions, returning transactions between the times
<var>start</var> and <var>end</var>, measured in seconds from the epoch.
If present, <var>func</var> is a function that acts as a filter on the
transactions to be returned; it's passed a dictionary representing
each transaction, and only transactions for which <var>func</var> returns
true will be included in the list of transactions returned to the
caller of <tt class="method">undoLog()</tt>. The dictionary contains keys for
various properties of the transaction. The most important keys are
"<tt class="samp">id</tt>", for the transaction ID, and "<tt class="samp">time</tt>", for the time at
which the transaction was committed.

While <tt class="method">setUser()</tt> overwrites the current user name and replaces
it with the new value, the <tt class="method">note()</tt> method always adds the text
to the transaction's description, so it can be called several times to
log several different changes made in the course of a single

<H2><A NAME="SECTION000510000000000000000">
4.1 Subtransactions</A>
<H2><A NAME="SECTION000530000000000000000">
4.3 Versions</A>
</H2>
<P>
Subtransactions can be created within a transaction. Each
subtransaction can be individually committed and aborted, but the
changes within a subtransaction are not truly committed until the
containing transaction is committed.
While many subtransactions can be contained within a single regular
transaction, it's also possible to contain many regular transactions
within a long-running transaction, called a version in ZODB
terminology. Inside a version, any number of transactions can be
created and committed or rolled back, but the changes within a version
are not made visible to other connections to the same ZODB.
<P>
The primary purpose of subtransactions is to decrease the memory usage
of transactions that touch a very large number of objects. Consider a
transaction during which 200,000 objects are modified. All the
objects that are modified in a single transaction have to remain in
memory until the transaction is committed, because the ZODB can't
discard them from the object cache. This can potentially make the
memory usage quite large. With subtransactions, a commit can be be
performed at intervals, say, every 10,000 objects. Those 10,000
objects are then written to permanent storage and can be purged from
the cache to free more space.
Not all storages support versions, but you can test for versioning
ability by calling <tt class="method">supportsVersions()</tt> method of the
<tt class="class">DB</tt> instance, which returns true if the underlying storage
supports versioning.
<P>
To commit a subtransaction instead of a full transaction,
pass a true value to the <tt class="method">commit()</tt>
or <tt class="method">abort()</tt> method of the <tt class="class">Transaction</tt> object.
A version can be selected when creating the <tt class="class">Connection</tt>
instance using the <tt class="method">DB.open(<big>[</big><var>version</var><big>]</big>)</tt> method.
The <var>version</var> argument must be a string that will be used as the
name of the version.
<P>
<dl><dd><pre class="verbatim">
# Commit a subtransaction
get_transaction().commit(1)
<div class="verbatim"><pre>
vers_conn = db.open(version='Working version')
</pre></div>
# Abort a subtransaction
get_transaction().abort(1)
</pre></dl>
<P>
Transactions can then be committed and aborted using this versioned
connection. Other connections that don't specify a version, or
provide a different version name, will not see changes committed
within the version named "<tt class="samp">Working&nbsp;version</tt>". To commit or abort a
version, which will either make the changes visible to all clients or
roll them back, call the <tt class="method">DB.commitVersion()</tt> or
<tt class="method">DB.abortVersion()</tt> methods.
XXX what are the source and dest arguments for?
<P>
The ZODB makes no attempt to reconcile changes between different
versions. Instead, the first version which modifies an object will
gain a lock on that object. Attempting to modify the object from a
different version or from an unversioned connection will cause a
<tt class="exception">ZODB.POSException.VersionLockError</tt> to be raised:
<P>
<div class="verbatim"><pre>
from ZODB.POSException import VersionLockError
try:
get_transaction().commit()
except VersionLockError, (obj_id, version):
print ('Cannot commit; object %s '
'locked by version %s' % (obj_id, version))
</pre></div>
<P>
A new subtransaction is automatically started on committing or
aborting the previous subtransaction.
The exception provides the ID of the locked object, and the name of
the version having a lock on it.

<P>
While many subtransactions can be contained within a single regular
transaction, it's also possible to contain many regular transactions
within a long-running transaction, called a version in ZODB
terminology. Inside a version, any number of transactions can be
created and committed or rolled back, but the changes within a version
are not made visible to other connections to the same ZODB.
<P>
Not all storages support versions, but you can test for versioning
ability by calling <tt class="method">supportsVersions()</tt> method of the
<tt class="class">DB</tt> instance, which returns true if the underlying storage
supports versioning.
<P>
A version can be selected when creating the <tt class="class">Connection</tt>
instance using the <tt class="method">DB.open(<big>[</big><var>version</var><big>]</big>)</tt> method.
The <var>version</var> argument must be a string that will be used as the
name of the version.

</H1>
<P>
<dl><dd><pre class="verbatim">
vers_conn = db.open(version='Working version')
</pre></dl>
The ZODB package includes a number of related modules that provide
useful data types such as BTrees.
<P>
Transactions can then be committed and aborted using this versioned
connection. Other connections that don't specify a version, or
provide a different version name, will not see changes committed
within the version named "<tt class="samp">Working&nbsp;version</tt>". To commit or abort a
version, which will either make the changes visible to all clients or
roll them back, call the <tt class="method">DB.commitVersion()</tt> or
<tt class="method">DB.abortVersion()</tt> methods.
XXX what are the source and dest arguments for?
<P>
The ZODB makes no attempt to reconcile changes between different
versions. Instead, the first version which modifies an object will
gain a lock on that object. Attempting to modify the object from a
different version or from an unversioned connection will cause a
<tt class="exception">ZODB.POSException.VersionLockError</tt> to be raised:
<P>
<dl><dd><pre class="verbatim">
from ZODB.POSException import VersionLockError
try:
get_transaction().commit()
except VersionLockError, (obj_id, version):
print ('Cannot commit; object %s '
'locked by version %s' % (obj_id, version))
</pre></dl>
<P>
The exception provides the ID of the locked object, and the name of
the version having a lock on it.

<H2><A NAME="SECTION000630000000000000000">
5.3 BTrees Package</A>
</H2>
<P>
The <tt class="class">PersistentMapping</tt> class is a wrapper for mapping objects
that will set the dirty bit when the mapping is modified by setting or
deleting a key.
When programming with the ZODB, Python dictionaries aren't always what
you need. The most important case is where you want to store a very
large mapping. When a Python dictionary is accessed in a ZODB, the
whole dictionary has to be unpickled and brought into memory. If
you're storing something very large, such as a 100,000-entry user
database, unpickling such a large object will be slow. BTrees are a
balanced tree data structure that behave like a mapping but distribute
keys throughout a number of tree nodes. The nodes are stored in
sorted order. Nodes are then only unpickled and brought into memory
as they're accessed, so the entire tree doesn't have to occupy memory
(unless you really are touching every single key).
<P>
The BTrees package provides a large collection of related data
structures. There are variants of the data structures specialized to
handle integer values, which are faster and use less memory. There
are four modules that handle the different variants. The first two
letters of the module name specify the types of the keys and values in
mappings - O for any object and I for integer. The
<tt class="module">BTrees.IOBTree</tt> module provides a mapping that accepts integer
keys and arbitrary objects as values.
<P>
The four data structures provide by each module are a btree, a bucket,
a tree set, and a set. The btree and bucket types are mappings and
support all the usual mapping methods, e.g. <tt class="function">update()</tt> and
<tt class="function">keys()</tt>. The tree set and set types are similar to mappings
but they have no values; they support the methods that make sense for
a mapping with no keys, e.g. <tt class="function">keys()</tt> but not
<tt class="function">items()</tt>. The bucket and set types are the individual
building blocks for btrees and tree sets, respectively. A bucket or
set can be used when you are sure that it will have few elements. If
the data structure will grow large, you should use a btree or tree
set.
<P>
The four modules are named <tt class="module">OOBTree</tt>, <tt class="module">IOBTree</tt>,
<tt class="module">OIBTree</tt>, and <tt class="module">IIBTree</tt>. The two letter prefixes are
repeated in the data types names. The <tt class="module">BTrees.OOBTree</tt> module
defines the following types: <tt class="class">OOBTree</tt>, <tt class="class">OOBucket</tt>,
<tt class="class">OOSet</tt>, and <tt class="class">OOTreeSet</tt>.
<P>
<dl><dt><b><a name="l2h-1"><tt class="function">PersistentMapping</tt></a></b>(<var>container = {}</var>)
<dd>
Create a <tt class="class">PersistentMapping</tt> object that wraps the
mapping object <var>container</var>. If you don't specify a
value for <var>container</var>, a regular Python dictionary is used.
</dl>
The <tt class="function">keys()</tt>, <tt class="function">values()</tt>, and <tt class="function">items()</tt>
methods do not materialize a list with all of the data. Instead, they
return lazy sequences that fetch data from the BTree as needed. They
also support optional arguments to specify the minium and maximum
values to return.
<P>
<tt class="class">PersistentMapping</tt> objects support all the same methods as
Python dictionaries do.
A BTree object supports all the methods you would expect of a mapping
with a few extensions that exploit the fact that the keys are sorted.
The example below demonstrates how some of the methods work. The
extra methods re <tt class="function">minKey()</tt> and <tt class="function">maxKey()</tt>, which
find the minimum and maximum key value subject to an optional bound
argument, and <tt class="function">byValue()</tt>, which returns value, key pairs
in reversed sorted order subject to an optional minimum bound argument.
<P>

</pre></div>
<P>
Each of the modules also defines some functions that operate on
BTrees - <tt class="function">difference()</tt>, <tt class="function">union()</tt>, and
<tt class="function">difference()</tt>. The <tt class="function">difference()</tt> function returns
a bucket, while the other two methods return a set.
If the keys are integers, then the module also defines
<tt class="function">multiunion()</tt>. If the values are integers, then the module
also defines <tt class="function">weightedIntersection()</tt> and
<tt class="function">weighterUnion()</tt>. The function doc strings describe each
function briefly.

<P>
When programming with the ZODB, Python dictionaries aren't always what
you need. The most important case is where you want to store a very
large mapping. When a Python dictionary is accessed in a ZODB, the
whole dictionary has to be unpickled and brought into memory. If
you're storing something very large, such as a 100,000-entry user
database, unpickling such a large object will be slow. B-trees are a
balanced tree data structure that behave like a mapping but distribute
keys throughout a number of tree nodes. Nodes are then only unpickled
and brought into memory as they're accessed, so the entire tree
doesn't have to occupy memory (unless you really are touching every
single key).
<P>
There are four different BTree modules provided. One of them, the
<tt class="module">BTree</tt> module, provides the most general data type; the keys
and values in the B-tree can be any Python object. Some specialized B-tree
modules require that the keys, and perhaps even the values, to be of a
certain type, and provide faster performance because of this limitation.
<P>
<DL COMPACT>
<DT> <tt class="module">IOBTree</tt> </DT>
<DD>requires the keys to be integers.
The module name reminds you of this; the <tt class="module">IOBTree</tt> module
maps Integers to Objects.
<P>
</DD>
<DT> <tt class="module">OIBTree</tt> </DT>
<DD>requires the values to be integers,
mapping Objects to Integers.
Version 1.1, March 2000

<P>
</DD>
<DT> <tt class="module">IIBTree</tt> </DT>
<DD>is strictest, requiring that both keys and values must be integers.
<P>
</DD>
</DL>
<P>
To use a B-tree, simply import the desired module and call the
constructor, always named <tt class="function">BTree()</tt>, to get a B-tree
instance, and then use it like any other mapping:

This License applies to any manual or other work that contains a
notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be distributed
under the terms of this License. The ``Document'', below, refers to any
such manual or work. Any member of the public is a licensee, and is
addressed as ``you''.

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
A ``Modified Version'' of the Document means any work containing the
Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with
modifications and/or translated into another language.
<P>
A ``Secondary Section'' is a named appendix or a front-matter section of
the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the
publishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overall subject
(or to related matters) and contains nothing that could fall directly
within that overall subject. (For example, if the Document is in part a
textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain any
mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of historical
connection with the subject or with related matters, or of legal,
commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position regarding
them.

<P>
The ``Cover Texts'' are certain short passages of text that are listed,
as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice that says that
the Document is released under this License.
<P>
A ``Transparent'' copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy,
represented in a format whose specification is available to the
general public, whose contents can be viewed and edited directly and
straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed of
pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some widely available
drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text formatters or
for automatic translation to a variety of formats suitable for input
to text formatters. A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file
format whose markup has been designed to thwart or discourage
subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent. A copy that is
not ``Transparent'' is called ``Opaque''.
<P>
Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain
ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, <SPAN CLASS="logo,LaTeX">L<SUP><SMALL>A</SMALL></SUP>T<SMALL>E</SMALL>X</SPAN>&nbsp;input format, SGML
or XML using a publicly available DTD, and standard-conforming simple
HTML designed for human modification. Opaque formats include
PostScript, PDF, proprietary formats that can be read and edited only
by proprietary word processors, SGML or XML for which the DTD and/or
processing tools are not generally available, and the
machine-generated HTML produced by some word processors for output
purposes only.
<P>
The ``Title Page'' means, for a printed book, the title page itself,
plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the material
this License requires to appear in the title page. For works in
formats which do not have any title page as such, ``Title Page'' means
the text near the most prominent appearance of the work's title,
preceding the beginning of the body of the text.

<P>
The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other
written document ``free'' in the sense of freedom: to assure everyone
the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it, with or without
modifying it, either commercially or noncommercially. Secondarily,
this License preserves for the author and publisher a way to get
credit for their work, while not being considered responsible for
modifications made by others.
You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either
commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the
copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License applies
to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you add no other
conditions whatsoever to those of this License. You may not use
technical measures to obstruct or control the reading or further
copying of the copies you make or distribute. However, you may accept
compensation in exchange for copies. If you distribute a large enough
number of copies you must also follow the conditions in section 3.
<P>
This License is a kind of ``copyleft'', which means that derivative
works of the document must themselves be free in the same sense. It
complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft
license designed for free software.
<P>
We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for free
software, because free software needs free documentation: a free
program should come with manuals providing the same freedoms that the
software does. But this License is not limited to software manuals;
it can be used for any textual work, regardless of subject matter or
whether it is published as a printed book. We recommend this License
principally for works whose purpose is instruction or reference.
You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, and
you may publicly display copies.

<P>
This License applies to any manual or other work that contains a
notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be distributed
under the terms of this License. The ``Document'', below, refers to any
such manual or work. Any member of the public is a licensee, and is
addressed as ``you''.
If you publish printed copies of the Document numbering more than 100,
and the Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must enclose
the copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these Cover
Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and Back-Cover Texts on
the back cover. Both covers must also clearly and legibly identify
you as the publisher of these copies. The front cover must present
the full title with all words of the title equally prominent and
visible. You may add other material on the covers in addition.
Copying with changes limited to the covers, as long as they preserve
the title of the Document and satisfy these conditions, can be treated
as verbatim copying in other respects.
<P>
A ``Modified Version'' of the Document means any work containing the
Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with
modifications and/or translated into another language.
If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit
legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit
reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto adjacent
pages.
<P>
A ``Secondary Section'' is a named appendix or a front-matter section of
the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the
publishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overall subject
(or to related matters) and contains nothing that could fall directly
within that overall subject. (For example, if the Document is in part a
textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain any
mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of historical
connection with the subject or with related matters, or of legal,
commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position regarding
them.
If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numbering
more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable Transparent
copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copy
a publicly-accessible computer-network location containing a complete
Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material, which the
general network-using public has access to download anonymously at no
charge using public-standard network protocols. If you use the latter
option, you must take reasonably prudent steps, when you begin
distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure that this
Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated location
until at least one year after the last time you distribute an Opaque
copy (directly or through your agents or retailers) of that edition to
the public.
<P>
The ``Invariant Sections'' are certain Secondary Sections whose titles
are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the notice
that says that the Document is released under this License.
<P>
The ``Cover Texts'' are certain short passages of text that are listed,
as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice that says that
the Document is released under this License.
<P>
A ``Transparent'' copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy,
represented in a format whose specification is available to the
general public, whose contents can be viewed and edited directly and
straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed of
pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some widely available
drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text formatters or
for automatic translation to a variety of formats suitable for input
to text formatters. A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file
format whose markup has been designed to thwart or discourage
subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent. A copy that is
not ``Transparent'' is called ``Opaque''.
<P>
Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain
ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, <SPAN CLASS="logo,LaTeX">L<SUP><SMALL>A</SMALL></SUP>T<SMALL>E</SMALL>X</SPAN>&nbsp;input format, SGML
or XML using a publicly available DTD, and standard-conforming simple
HTML designed for human modification. Opaque formats include
PostScript, PDF, proprietary formats that can be read and edited only
by proprietary word processors, SGML or XML for which the DTD and/or
processing tools are not generally available, and the
machine-generated HTML produced by some word processors for output
purposes only.
<P>
The ``Title Page'' means, for a printed book, the title page itself,
plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the material
this License requires to appear in the title page. For works in
formats which do not have any title page as such, ``Title Page'' means
the text near the most prominent appearance of the work's title,
preceding the beginning of the body of the text.
It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of the
Document well before redistributing any large number of copies, to give
them a chance to provide you with an updated version of the Document.

You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document under

<P>
If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or
appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no material
copied from the Document, you may at your option designate some or all
of these sections as invariant. To do this, add their titles to the
list of Invariant Sections in the Modified Version's license notice.
These titles must be distinct from any other section titles.
<P>
You may add a section entitled ``Endorsements'', provided it contains
nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various
parties - for example, statements of peer review or that the text has
been approved by an organization as the authoritative definition of a
standard.
<P>
You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and a
passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of the list
of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one passage of
Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or
through arrangements made by) any one entity. If the Document already
includes a cover text for the same cover, previously added by you or
by arrangement made by the same entity you are acting on behalf of,
you may not add another; but you may replace the old one, on explicit
permission from the previous publisher that added the old one.
<P>
The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this License
give permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert or
imply endorsement of any Modified Version.

<P>
If you publish printed copies of the Document numbering more than 100,
and the Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must enclose
the copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these Cover
Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and Back-Cover Texts on
the back cover. Both covers must also clearly and legibly identify
you as the publisher of these copies. The front cover must present
the full title with all words of the title equally prominent and
visible. You may add other material on the covers in addition.
Copying with changes limited to the covers, as long as they preserve
the title of the Document and satisfy these conditions, can be treated
as verbatim copying in other respects.
You may combine the Document with other documents released under this
License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for modified
versions, provided that you include in the combination all of the
Invariant Sections of all of the original documents, unmodified, and
list them all as Invariant Sections of your combined work in its
license notice.
<P>
If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit
legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit
reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto adjacent
pages.
The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and
multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single
copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name but
different contents, make the title of each such section unique by
adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the original
author or publisher of that section if known, or else a unique number.
Make the same adjustment to the section titles in the list of
Invariant Sections in the license notice of the combined work.
<P>
If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numbering
more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable Transparent
copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copy
a publicly-accessible computer-network location containing a complete
Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material, which the
general network-using public has access to download anonymously at no
charge using public-standard network protocols. If you use the latter
option, you must take reasonably prudent steps, when you begin
distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure that this
Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated location
until at least one year after the last time you distribute an Opaque
copy (directly or through your agents or retailers) of that edition to
the public.
<P>
It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of the
Document well before redistributing any large number of copies, to give
them a chance to provide you with an updated version of the Document.
In the combination, you must combine any sections entitled ``History''
in the various original documents, forming one section entitled
``History''; likewise combine any sections entitled ``Acknowledgements'',
and any sections entitled ``Dedications''. You must delete all sections
entitled ``Endorsements.''

You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document under
the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you release
the Modified Version under precisely this License, with the Modified
Version filling the role of the Document, thus licensing distribution
and modification of the Modified Version to whoever possesses a copy
of it. In addition, you must do these things in the Modified Version:
You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other documents
released under this License, and replace the individual copies of this
License in the various documents with a single copy that is included in
the collection, provided that you follow the rules of this License for
verbatim copying of each of the documents in all other respects.
<P>
<UL>
<LI>Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title distinct
from that of the Document, and from those of previous versions
(which should, if there were any, be listed in the History section
of the Document). You may use the same title as a previous version
if the original publisher of that version gives permission.
</LI>
<LI>List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or entities
responsible for authorship of the modifications in the Modified
Version, together with at least five of the principal authors of the
Document (all of its principal authors, if it has less than five).
</LI>
<LI>State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the
Modified Version, as the publisher.
</LI>
<LI>Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document.
</LI>
<LI>Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications
adjacent to the other copyright notices.
</LI>
<LI>Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license notice
giving the public permission to use the Modified Version under the
terms of this License, in the form shown in the Addendum below.
</LI>
<LI>Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant Sections
and required Cover Texts given in the Document's license notice.
</LI>
<LI>Include an unaltered copy of this License.
</LI>
<LI>Preserve the section entitled ``History'', and its title, and add to
it an item stating at least the title, year, new authors, and
publisher of the Modified Version as given on the Title Page. If
there is no section entitled ``History'' in the Document, create one
stating the title, year, authors, and publisher of the Document as
given on its Title Page, then add an item describing the Modified
Version as stated in the previous sentence.
</LI>
<LI>Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for
public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and likewise
the network locations given in the Document for previous versions
it was based on. These may be placed in the ``History'' section.
You may omit a network location for a work that was published at
least four years before the Document itself, or if the original
publisher of the version it refers to gives permission.
</LI>
<LI>In any section entitled ``Acknowledgements'' or ``Dedications'',
preserve the section's title, and preserve in the section all the
substance and tone of each of the contributor acknowledgements
and/or dedications given therein.
</LI>
<LI>Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document,
unaltered in their text and in their titles. Section numbers
or the equivalent are not considered part of the section titles.
</LI>
<LI>Delete any section entitled ``Endorsements''. Such a section
may not be included in the Modified Version.
</LI>
<LI>Do not retitle any existing section as ``Endorsements''
or to conflict in title with any Invariant Section.

</LI>
</UL>
<P>
If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or
appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no material
copied from the Document, you may at your option designate some or all
of these sections as invariant. To do this, add their titles to the
list of Invariant Sections in the Modified Version's license notice.
These titles must be distinct from any other section titles.
<P>
You may add a section entitled ``Endorsements'', provided it contains
nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various
parties - for example, statements of peer review or that the text has
been approved by an organization as the authoritative definition of a
standard.
<P>
You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and a
passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of the list
of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one passage of
Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or
through arrangements made by) any one entity. If the Document already
includes a cover text for the same cover, previously added by you or
by arrangement made by the same entity you are acting on behalf of,
you may not add another; but you may replace the old one, on explicit
permission from the previous publisher that added the old one.
<P>
The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this License
give permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert or
imply endorsement of any Modified Version.
You may extract a single document from such a collection, and distribute
it individually under this License, provided you insert a copy of this
License into the extracted document, and follow this License in all
other respects regarding verbatim copying of that document.

list them all as Invariant Sections of your combined work in its

A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other separate
and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a storage or
distribution medium, does not as a whole count as a Modified Version
of the Document, provided no compilation copyright is claimed for the
compilation. Such a compilation is called an ``aggregate'', and this
License does not apply to the other self-contained works thus compiled
with the Document, on account of their being thus compiled, if they
are not themselves derivative works of the Document.
<P>
The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and
multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single
copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name but
different contents, make the title of each such section unique by
adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the original
author or publisher of that section if known, or else a unique number.
Make the same adjustment to the section titles in the list of
Invariant Sections in the license notice of the combined work.
<P>
In the combination, you must combine any sections entitled ``History''
in the various original documents, forming one section entitled
``History''; likewise combine any sections entitled ``Acknowledgements'',
and any sections entitled ``Dedications''. You must delete all sections
entitled ``Endorsements.''
If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these
copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one quarter
of the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed on
covers that surround only the Document within the aggregate.
Otherwise they must appear on covers around the whole aggregate.

of the Document, provided no compilation copyright is claimed for the

with the Document, on account of their being thus compiled, if they
are not themselves derivative works of the Document.

If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these
copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one quarter
of the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed on
covers that surround only the Document within the aggregate.
Otherwise they must appear on covers around the whole aggregate.
You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document except
as expressly provided for under this License. Any other attempt to
copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Document is void, and will
automatically terminate your rights under this License. However,
parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this
License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
parties remain in full compliance.
