Description
Python has been intensively used at CERN since 2001 by the CERN Document
Server team to provide services in two areas:
- Digital document management within the CDS Invenio application, running
on top of MySQL DB
- Digital conference management within the CDS Indico application, running on
top of a ZOPE DB; and currently used to run EuroPython 06!
In this presentation, after providing an overview of the usage and
architecture of these two open source packages, we will describe the
technical options that have been selected after comparison with other
solutions. The choice of Python/MySQL versus Python/ZODB will be
discussed. Finally, the role of the GNU Public Licensing in the evolution
of CDS software with the creation of a world-wide consortium of
developers will be underlined.
