not clear to me the details of this requirement. It'd be really helpful if you
could elaborate with use cases (even simple ones). If this is the complete
requirement I believe it's already been fulfilled by the DataStore Client API
Bob checked in and documented with the attached PDF.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<P><FONT size=2>Within DataStoreClient is a ftp-ish command line client
interface to the </FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2>datastore. While useful on its own, it provides a set of
examples of the </FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2>interface to the datastore. To try it out, just run
DataStoreClient.py at </FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2>the command line</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2>Notably, this module introduces methods that reutrn filehandles
for reading </FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2>from and writing to the venue datastore. The current
implementation does </FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2>this by simply downloading before read, and uploading after
write. However, </FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2>they should simplify the use of a venue datastore when those are
the </FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2>natural operations (for instance, with them one could pickle
directly to </FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2>and from venue datafiles).</FONT></P>
<P><SPAN class=880304711-22082003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Is that
sufficient or are you asking for something more? If you're asking for
something more, you'll have to provide more detailed requirements. Otherwise,
we'll consider this requirement fulfilled..</FONT></SPAN></P>
