Zope?

Tuesday, October 9th, 2001

Hmmm… I’m reading lots of Zope documentation. My first examples are working and I’m having fun - but I am also having some second thoughts.

Titus Brown compared Zope to a frustrating Adventure game. And Andrew Kuchling gave up and rolled his own after a while.

Right from the start, I disliked DTML (a homegrown markup-language for messing up HTML). But I do feel better about ZPT (Zope Page Templates) - even if it’s still a new and somewhat unfinished concept.

So I’ll keep reading and experimenting for a while… but it’s good to know there are alternative web solutions for Python.
