It implements ACID transactions and runs on Python 3.10 and above, including PyPy. The database operates transparently\u2014objects are persisted directly without an object-relational mapping layer that would partially hide the database abstraction.\n\nThe package depends on seven runtime components: persistent (for object state management), BTrees (for efficient indexing), ZConfig (for configuration), transaction (for ACID semantics), zc.lockfile (for concurrency control), zope.interface (for interface definitions), and zodbpickle (for serialization). It is actively maintained, with recent releases adding support for Python 3.14 and new configuration options, and has no known security vulnerabilities.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need transparent object persistence in Python and accept the ZPL-2.1 license. ZODB is actively maintained, has low install friction, supports modern Python versions (3.10\u20133.14), and carries no known vulnerabilities. Verify license compatibility and review the documentation to confirm it fits your data model and transaction requirements before committing to production use."},"id":"zodb","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/zodb","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/zodb.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/zodb/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-04-14","license_spdx":"ZPL-2.1","license_treatment":"unclear","name":"ZODB","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"ZODB, a Python object-oriented database"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":216689,"position":9373,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"6.3"}
