Greetings All,
I wanted to share the beginnings of a project.
This is a Python Storage Engine. The idea is to plumb in the necessary C to Python calls to allow a storage engine to be written in Python instead of C or C++. This may be valuable to those who want to prototype
That would be very cool! If you have any questions about the storage engine API - don't hesitate to ask!
a database engine in Python, or if the performance is sufficient for the use case, for production. I haven't taken things to far yet, but I think it gives a rough idea of how to move forward with adding the other calls. In my particular case I'm using it to prototype connecting to a search API, like Solr, to provide an SQL like interface.
I did have a quick question. I want to license it as a more permissive license, but since I'm using the example engine, does that mean that I need to use the GPL license? Or can I go with the more permissive MIT-new license?

MariaDB is GPLv2, so you should use a GPLv2 compatible license. MIT license seems to be compatible with GPLv2, but IANAL. Regards, Sergei
