What is Schevo?
Sch-ema Evo-lution: Schevo makes it easy for your application to manage structured data and keep up with its need for change!
Rather than using SQL, Schevo provides an elegant Python API to store data using the venerable Durus or ZODB databases (your choice). There are too many features to bore you with here.
Who chooses Schevo?
Schevo has been meeting the structured data management needs of both commercial and hobbyist apps since 2003.
SQL users choose Schevo and leverage their existing knowledge of relational concepts to quickly create new apps that go beyond what traditional SQL makes accessible.
Casual users choose Schevo for its ease of use, its helpful community, and its low barrier of entry to creating useful data-driven apps.
