Charith is a summer of code student, and this request is (somehow) 
driven by the interest to write an object query system on top of the ZODB.

Hi Charith,

When you ask a question, you will have to explain *why* you want to do 
it. If you don't give people the context of what you are workign on, 
they won't be able to answer your question. I personally have no idea 
what you're trying to do, and I actually know you're working on the 
object query language project. This is something most people on this 
list don't even know.

I need to import objects and interfaces in Zope to another program. Say 
I have created some objects in Zope and then I need to retrieve them 
from other application running separately. How can I do this? Let me 
know it such application is available and other resources if available.


So, why do you want to do this? How is this going to help you write a 
system that queries the object database? If you want to access content 
in the object database, you can access the information using Python, 
after all.


If you really want this, we have some more questions:

* what is this other application where you want to retrieve the information?

* what format would you like this information to be available in?

* how is this going to help you?

If you don't ask clear questions, nobody is going to be able to help 
you. Your question is making a lot of assumptions that we don't know 
anything about, and perhaps they are not the right assumptions.

Martijn
