Two extensions released

Two extensions released

From:

I just released two new versions of Flask extensions. The first is a
bugfix release of Flask-XML-RPC, which is now able to actually work on
Python 2.5. The second is a brand new extension, Flask-CouchDB. (That
one still needs a logo, so if Armin is so inclined to make one, thanks
in advance.)

The formal release announcement is on my blog at

http://blog.leafstorm.us/2010/6/12/new-releases-of-flask-xml-rpc-and-flask-couchdb,
so check there for links and more details.

I don't have very much experience with MongoDB, but from what I
understand its databases use completely different organization (Mongo
has databases containing collections of documents, whereas Couch uses
databases which just have documents) and queries (Mongo uses SQL-like
finds and indexes handled entirely at the application level, while Couch
uses MapReduce-style views stored in the database) than CouchDB, so code
would not really be portable between the two.

Most of the Flask-CouchDB code is based on features present in the
couchdb-python library that do not appear to be present in PyMongo, like
the Document classes and view synchronization. Really, forking would
leave a lot of extra, non-working code that you would have to get rid
of, so it would probably be more efficient to start your own
Flask-MongoDB (or whatever) project from scratch. You could find some
useful insights in the code, however.

PS: I think the major design difference between Couch and Mongo is that
Couch is experimenting with new paradigms designed specifically for
document-oriented databases, while Mongo is using some of the cool stuff
from DODBs but keep enough SQL-ish features to keep relational DB
experts happy. IMHO, I like Couch's approach better because it lets you
do some really cool stuff no one had really thought of before, and
really MapReduce is a lot better fit for DODBs than SQL-type queries.

The best feature of Couch is still that it speaks HTTP.  You can hook a 
cache between your database and the application which is awesome.
