For most small applications DTML can suffice, but when it gets large you should separate your code the way its intended, DTML is for simple logic and presentation ONLY. Whilst PythonMethods are cool, I would naturally stray away from them for the above reasons for anything longer than about 5 lines.
But once you have done 5 lines of dtml, and yoo need to add sixth, what is more probable: 1. Rewrite as a pyhtonmethod 2. Just add the sixth line I have the creeping feeling, that dtml is the worst thing since csh. Fortunatly, even DC seems to have realized it.
Zope's built in FTP server is one of it's huge stengths, IMO. He hasn't realised this and so bitches about it. You can always turn it off you know! Likewise the HTTP server, run Zope as a CGI if you must! :P
"Apache already exists and is highly flexible and configurable" of course it is, use it if you want, grrr..... TMTOWTODI.
But cgi is slow. and using mod_proxy is not beatiful and adds latency. Besides, the zserver on 2.1.6 seems to have bugs that sometimes let the page only 90% through. I've really wondered, why all the trouble of using a own HTTP server, Apache is a great HTTP server and most users run it anyway. which leads to the natural question: Why isn't there a mod_zope module? -- Riku Voipio riku.voipio@tietoenator.com 09-862 60764
