Then I just have to ask: why are you even bothering with ZODB?  If you
want to do persistence explicitly, Robin Dunn's bsddb3 is just fine, and
it's a lot easier to wrap your head around than ZODB.

(OK, OK, there's more to ZODB than implicit persistence.  But that's
what it really all boils down to -- the ability to save/load objects
without having to explicitly say, "Here, save this object now" or "Go
load that object from the database for me", I mean -- isn't it?)
