If we can reload Python code at runtime, and we can also edit, generate and store files (containing code) via the web (as LocalFS or extFile prove), then it should be perfectly possible to have something like ZClasses (it terms of the over-the-web front-end) that spits out and dynamically loads REAL Python classes instead of the rather experimental simulation of classes we get with ZClasses, right?
Your suggestion sounds like something stated in the Zope Directions Document at http://dev.zope.org/Resources/ZopeDirections.html:
The major goal will be to simplify how components (now called products) are built and used. For example, currently some products are built in the filesystem and some are built in the object database. We want to remove this distinction so that all components can be edited via the filesystem and live in the object database.

What do you think about this idea? If it finds some friends, I'll set up a formal proposal for something like "ZClass-like features to build REAL Zope Python classes over the web".
Well I think many people would be interested to reduce the differences between ZClasses and python products. At least I would be interested. Regards Eric
