I am not sure that I understand people's reservations with writing Python Products for complex situations?, with which you get so many nice development tools that we are so used to. Personally I couldn't fathom doing half the things I want to in Zope without using these, though the security issue is still one I find awkward. Is it DCs wish that one day people would not need to write Python Products? Matt On Tue, 17 Apr 2001, Cees de Groot wrote:

Okay, you tempted me to say more ;-)
And you said more, but almost all in the future tense. Gee, if it weren't for the great possibilities that Zope has, I'd probably had binned it a long time ago (plus, I am very sure, lots of others). I think we were discussing where Zope stands now, and that is (IMO) that it covers simple to moderate websites.
On the other hand, when I'll get some time I want to check a multi-tier architecture (web client, Zope, business logic server, database) where the web-developers would get Zope, and the software developers would get Smalltalk. If a clean cut is possible, I think that it would be a near-ideal development environment.
