Hello, thanks for the replies! The port of the C speed-ups is a really interesting thing, but could be done if there is time left, as there are possibilities to run those zope components without using the C speed-ups. I have already heard that the Zope security proxies are a big challange and that there are ways, to concentrate for example on grok, which does not use it. The bottom-up approach is a good thing, because Zope has a huge amount of components. Some of the I would be interested in are zope.inerface (ported at PyCon), zope.component, zope.publisher and some of the xml and data structure parsing bits inside of Zope.
Are there wsgi servers for jython? There is a a WSGI server for jython: modjy http://www.xhaus.com/modjy/
As Martjin mentioned, I will also be working on a report while working on Summer of Code, to include the missing bits or parts that could not be ported to Jython, giving a status update to Jython and Zope about the missing bits. Regards, Georgy
