Re: [Zope-dev] [Zope] Barriers to Zope popularity
From my experience of trying to intrest co-workers in Zope there were 2 problems.
1. Python - they don't know python, but might be willing to learn if it wasn't for 2... 2. ISP/Web Hosting companies don't sopport Pyhton as a cgi enviroment or Zope. Very few, from my experience, want to switch ISP/Web Hosting for something they have not tried in a new language. Don't take these comments to mean that I don't like Zope I love it but can't justify going with an untrusted ISP/Web Host. I don't know the solution to this one. Any help would be appreciated. Maybe what effect adding Zope, along with Apache, would have for the ISP/Web Host. Technicaly do they have anything to worry about or is they general lack of python experience the only factor. Any ideas??? ===== ------------------------------------ Brian M Lauer <mailto:fozbaca@yahoo.com> <http://w3.one.net/~fozbaca/> <ftp://ftp.one.net/pub/users/fozbaca/> __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Not really necessary, but helpful, and quite valuable in its own right...

By 'support', do you mean 'provide tech support for' or 'have installed'? If the former, this shouldn't be too big of a deal once you're installed and working, and the zope-list is here for you :-) If the latter, check Zope.org's downloads for nice complete binary distributions of Zope complete with built-in Python. If you can do CGI on your ISP, you can do PCGI with Zope.
