Hi All. Andrew Kuchling posted the following message on comp.lang.python about his nght2html.py module. His message reminded me that it's a bit of a hassle maintaining code that relies on one or more of the Zope components, compared to the relatively simple way of dealing with Bobo code. [ amk ]
It's perfectly possible to use DTML outside of Zope; nght2html, the templating system I use for my Web pages, uses DocumentTemplate because I didn't want to write and maintain Yet Another templating syntax, and DocumentTemplate has practically all the bells and whistles you need.
Zope appears to be presently distributed as a single, monolithic package. It was formerly available as downloadable components. (Is there a link to older versions available?) I can understand that Digital Creations does not have the available bandwidth to continue to support distributing individual components. However, I'm interested in developing a long-term strategy that will allow me to continue to use Zope components (ZODB, ZTemplate, etc.) in a portable, low-maintenance kinda way.

The easiest way is probably to use the anonymous CVS. You can check out whatever subtree you want. ZPublisher (formerly Bobo) and DocumentTemplates can both be used independently. I currently use them for non-Zopish web applications that way.
