Give the responses. I need to recast my question as a selection among alternatives. But, before I do that, we will need to consider alternatives a bit more.
OK, here's another.
What about renaming the Zope 3 zope package to "z".
- It fits with the expansion of "Zope": "Z Object Publishing Environment".
- It's short :)
- *At this time* (but after the move to svn), it's not too hard to make a change like this for Zope 3. Backward compatibility is not a big issue. This will change when X3.0 is released, which is why I'm bothering to deal with this now.
- This was suggested a couple of years ago when coming up with the Zope 3 package layout.
Examples (from the buddydemo example):
import z.interface from z.app import zapi from z.app.event import publish from z.app.event.objectevent import ObjectModifiedEvent
Other reasons I like "z": - Less noise in imports - Echos the "circle z" - The packages in "z" can be used for more than just Zope - Emphasizes the more "minimalist" nature of Zope 3 relative to Zope 2 - "z" is a component of "zope" OK, I'm getting carried away.
