First, I saw this:Ques­tion: “What exactly is python used for…

The ques­tion itself is inane — but the answer is what caught my eyes.

To Quote:
Too busy to answer prop­erly, but I’ll just men­tion that Fer­mi­lab uses a home-grown python pack­age called Enstore to man­age their data store of 3 Petabytes of physics data, grow­ing at 1PB/year. The trans­fers of ~25TB/day to and from that sys­tem is what keeps me busy.

And then he pro­vides this link: Pre­sen­ta­tion about the Enstore System

The answer was from a Mail­ing List.

The full response is at that link Googling Enstore up yields a few links:

Access to Mass Stor­age at FNAL

And: Dcache.Org

This is some code I have Got to see.

And to add: Infor­ma­tion on the Enstore Project

What's this?
