---------------

      Objects stored in modules but not in the ZODB are not persistent
      and not-thread safe. In general it's not a good idea to store
      data (as opposed to functions, and class definitions) in modules
      when using ZODB.

         We should mention that module data is the easiest way to achive server-lifetime data store. This is where you
         would normally store external references (file handles or database connections or session data) that you
         cannot easily reconstruct.
