Hi,
I need to insert a python tuple (of floats) into a MySQL database. In principle I could pickle it and insert it as a string, but that would grant me the chance only to retrieve it through python. Alternative is to serialize the tuple to XML and store the XML string.
What solutions do you think would be also possible, with an eye toward storing other stuff (e.g. a list, or an object). Recovering it from other languages is a plus.
