I know that people use it to do real work, as well... But, I'm really not sure that it gains you much, given Java's high footprint on anything that is non-Windows/non-Solaris. Also, JPython loses some of the nicer features of python (such as multiple inheritance; at least the more recent functional versions did, last I looked, 6 months ago). This might be problematic, depending on the guts of Zope. If you really want Java, I suggest sticking with Servlets. Or fork the source code... But Digital Creations, please don't reimplement Zope in JPython... best, -tony -- A.J.
