+ZODB3 3.3
+=========
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+The ZODB3 package provides a set of tools for using the Zope Object
+Database (ZODB) in Python programs separately from Zope.  The tools
+you get are identical to the ones provided in Zope, because they come
+from the same source repository.  They have been packaged for use in
+non-Zope stand-alone Python applications.
+
+The components you get with the ZODB3 release are as follows:
+
+- Core ZODB, including the persistence machinery
+- Standard storages such as FileStorage
+- The persistent BTrees modules
+- ZEO
+- ZConfig -- a Zope configuration language
+- documentation
+
+Our primary development platforms are Linux and Windows 2000.  The
+test suite should pass without error on all of these platforms,
+although it can take a long time on Windows -- longer if you use
+ZoneAlarm.  Many particularly slow tests are skipped unless you pass
+--all as an argument to test.py.
+
+Compatibility
+-------------
+
+ZODB 3.3 is requires Python 2.3.4 or later.
+
+The Zope 2.8 and X3 releases should be compatible with this version of ZODB.
+Note that Zope 2.7 and higher includes ZEO, so this package should only be
+needed to run a ZEO server.
+
+The ZEO server in ZODB 3.3 is currently incompatible with earlier
+versions of ZODB.  If you want to test the software, you must be
+running this release for both client and server.  A backwards
+compatibility mechanism will be provided in a later release.
+
+Prerequisites
+-------------
+
+You must have Python installed.  If you've installed Python from RPM,
+be sure that you've installed the development RPMs too, since ZODB3
+builds Python extensions.  If you have the source release of ZODB3,
+you will need a C compiler.
+
+Installation
+------------
+
+ZODB3 is released as a distutils package.  To build it, run the setup
+script::
+
+    % python setup.py build
+
+To test the build, run the test script::
+
+    % python test.py
+
+For more verbose test output, append one or two '-v' arguments to this
+command.
+
+If all the tests succeeded, you can install ZODB3 using the setup
+script::
+
+    % python setup.py install
+
+This should now make all of ZODB accessible to your Python programs.
+
+Testing
+-------
+
+ZODB3 comes with a large test suite that can be run from the source
+directory before ZODB is installed.  The simplest way to run the tests
+is::
+
+    % python test.py -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
+
+
+History
+-------
+
+The version numbering scheme for ZODB is complicated.  Starting with
+the ZODB 3.1 release, we tried to make it simpler.  Versions prior to
+3.1 had different names and different numbers.  This section describes
+the gory details.
+
+Historically, ZODB was distributed as a part of the Zope application
+server.  Jim Fulton's paper at the Python conference in 2000 described
+a version of ZODB he called ZODB 3, based on an earlier persistent
+object system called BoboPOS.  The earliest versions of ZODB 3 were
+released with Zope 2.0.
+
+Andrew Kuchling extracted ZODB from Zope 2.4.1 and packaged it for
+use by standalone Python programs.  He called this version
+"StandaloneZODB".  Andrew's guide to using ZODB is included in the Doc
+directory.  This version of ZODB was hosted at
+http://sf.net/projects/zodb.  It supported Python 1.5.2, and might
+still be of interest to users of this very old Python version.
+
+Zope Corporation released a version of ZODB called "StandaloneZODB
+1.0" in Feb. 2002.  This release was based on Andrew's packaging, but
+built from the same CVS repository as Zope.  It is roughly equivalent
+to the ZODB in Zope 2.5.
+
+Why not call the current release StandaloneZODB?  The name
+StandaloneZODB is a bit of a mouthful.  The standalone part of the
+name suggests that the Zope version is the real version and that this
+is an afterthought, which isn't the case.  So we're calling this
+release "ZODB3".
+
+To make matters worse, we worked on a ZODB4 package for a while and
+made a couple of alpha releases.  We've now abandoned that effort,
+because we didn't have the resources to pursue while also maintaining
+ZODB3.
+

+-------
+
+ZODB is distributed under the Zope Public License, an OSI-approved
+open source license.  Please see the LICENSE.txt file for terms and

+ZODB Documentation
+==================
+
+Simple text files
+-----------------
+
+This is a brief summary of the text documentation included with ZODB.
+Most of the text actually uses the restructured text format.  The
+summary lists the title and path of each document.
+
+BerkeleyDB Storages for ZODB
+Doc/BDBStorage.txt
+
+Using zdctl and zdrun to manage server processes
+Doc/zdctl.txt
+
+ZEO Client Cache
+Doc/ZEO/cache.txt
+
+Running a ZEO Server HOWTO
+Doc/ZEO/howto.txt
+
+ZEO Client Cache Tracing
+Doc/ZEO/trace.txt
+
+Formatted documents
+-------------------
+
+There are two documents written the Python documentation tools.
+
+  ZODB/ZEO Programming Guide
+    PDF:  zodb.pdf
+    HTML: zodb/zodb.html
+
+  ZODB Storage API
+    PDF:  storage.pdf
+    HTML: storage/storage.html
+
+The documents located here can be formatted using the mkhowto script
+which is part of the Python documentation tools.  The recommended use
+of this script is to create a symlink from some handy bin/ directory
+to the script, located in Doc/tools/mkhowto in the Python source
+distribution; that script will locate the various support files it
+needs appropriately.
+
+The Makefile contains the commands to produce both the PDF and HTML
+versions of the documents.

+The zconfig.tex document in this directory contains the reference
+documentation for the ZConfig package.  This documentation is written
+using the Python LaTeX styles.
+
+To format the documentation, get a copy of the Python documentation
+tools (the Doc/ directory from the Python sources), and create a
+symlink to the tools/mkhowto script from some convenient bin/
+directory.  You will need to have a fairly complete set of
+documentation tools installed on your platform; see
+
+    http://www.python.org/doc/current/doc/doc.html
+
+for more information on the tools.
+
+This documentation requires the latest version of the Python
+documentation tools from CVS.

+Zope Enterprise Objects (ZEO)
+
+  Installation
+
+    ZEO 2.0 requires Zope 2.4 or higher and Python 2.1 or higher.
+    If you use Python 2.1, we recommend the latest minor release
+    (2.1.3 as of this writing) because it includes a few bug fixes
+    that affect ZEO.
+
+    Put the package (the ZEO directory, without any wrapping directory
+    included in a distribution) in your Zope lib/python.
+
+    The setup.py script in the top-level ZEO directory can also be
+    used.  Run "python setup.py install --home=ZOPE" where ZOPE is the
+    top-level Zope directory.
+
+    You can test ZEO before installing it with the test script::
+
+      python test.py -v
+
+    Run the script with the -h option for a full list of options.  The
+    ZEO 2.0b2 release contains 122 unit tests on Unix.
+
+  Starting (and configuring) the ZEO Server
+
+    To start the storage server, go to your Zope install directory and
+    run::
+
+      python lib/python/ZEO/start.py -p port_number
+
+    This run the storage sever under zdaemon.  zdaemon automatically
+    restarts programs that exit unexpectedly.
+
+    The server and the client don't have to be on the same machine.
+    If they are on the same machine, then you can use a Unix domain
+    socket::
+
+      python lib/python/ZEO/start.py -U filename
+
+    The start script provides a number of options not documented here.
+    See doc/start.txt for more information.
+        
+  Running Zope as a ZEO client
+
+    To get Zope to use the server, create a custom_zodb module,
+    custom_zodb.py, in your Zope install directory, so that Zope uses a
+    ClientStorage::
+
+      from ZEO.ClientStorage import ClientStorage
+      Storage = ClientStorage(('', port_number))
+
+    You can specify a host name (rather than '') if you want.  The port
+    number is, of course, the port number used to start the storage
+    server.
+
+    You can also give the name of a Unix domain socket file::
+
+      from ZEO.ClientStorage import ClientStorage
+      Storage = ClientStorage(filename)
+
+    There are a number of configuration options available for the
+    ClientStorage. See doc/ClientStorage.txt for details.
+
+    If you want a persistent client cache which retains cache contents
+    across ClientStorage restarts, you need to define the environment
+    variable, ZEO_CLIENT, or set the client keyword argument to the
+    constructor to a unique name for the client.  This is needed so
+    that unique cache name files can be computed.  Otherwise, the
+    client cache is stored in temporary files which are removed when
+    the ClientStorage shuts down.  For example, to start two Zope
+    processes with unique caches, use something like::
+
+      python z2.py -P8700 ZEO_CLIENT=8700
+      python z2.py -P8800 ZEO_CLIENT=8800
+
+  Zope product installation
+
+    Normally, Zope updates the Zope database during startup to reflect
+    product changes or new products found. It makes no sense for
+    multiple ZEO clients to do the same installation. Further, if
+    different clients have different software installed, the correct
+    state of the database is ambiguous.
+
+    Zope will not modify the Zope database during product installation
+    if the environment variable ZEO_CLIENT is set.
+
+    Normally, Zope ZEO clients should be run with ZEO_CLIENT set so
+    that product initialization is not performed.
+
+    If you do install new Zope products, then you need to take a
+    special step to cause the new products to be properly registered
+    in the database.  The easiest way to do this is to start Zope
+    once with the environment variable FORCE_PRODUCT_LOAD set.
+
+    The interaction between ZEO and Zope product installation is
+    unfortunate.
