Best Free UML, XMI, Zope/Transwarp tools
I've been looking for a standard *FREE* tool that I can use to design Zope apps. I think my search is over. It seems to be a good tool for students because it's free and comes with support for Java, Persistence and XMI, Full and partial exchange. I wonder if Transwarp is at the point of being able to use UML/XMI stuff. Here is the URL for the UML tool http://www.ii.atos-group.com/rhone-alpes/Dom/english/ -Jimbo

Well, the current CVS has a full UML metamodel in it, and the test suite actually performs some operations such as creating a UML model, adding items to a package, and so on. But I still haven't rewritten the XMI support. I expect it to be another month or so before that shows up in CVS. (By the way, the best place for discussion regarding TransWarp is the mailing list TransWarp@eby-sarna.com, and the zope-dev list generally frowns on crosspostings for discussion. If you reply to this message, be sure to only reply to transwarp@eby-sarna.com. Thanks!)
I'm a Zope and Python newbie and I'm trying to utilize Persistence, but I've seen two different ways: import ZODB from Persistence import Persistent vs. from Globals import Persistent Are these different? If so, which is "better"? Please don't ask me to define better. ;-) Thanks, // mark

If you're just using Zope, both are acceptable. If you are just using ZODB, use the first. -Michel

As Michel said, this is only for non-Zope use. In this case the 'import ZODB' statement does some funky stuff with the namespace. ;-) But I do not even attempt to understand that now. Next year maybe... If anyone knows about some nice documentation discussing/explaining this behavior, could you post the link?
