RE: [Zope] Comment on comments in DTML

what do we need in order to upgrade zope from 2.3.2 to version 2.4?

i read somewhere i need to upgrade python to 2.1. what else do i need like do i need other updates in order for me to update python? i seem to be having trouble updating python from 1.5 to 2.1. it's like asking me to upgrade my gcc version because it cannot understand a "-ldz" argument. weird.

what is the benefit of upgrading from 2.3.2 to 2.4? i know there are a lot of changes. but is all the updtaes of pythong and zope worth it?

i don't have an idea of what to do now. thanks.

Toby,
I think that DTML, mostly because of its modular and hierarchical nature, is
deceptively simple, but actually quite powerful.

It is true that most individual methods or documents are simple in
isolation, but within an entire site they represent part of a complex
system.

I find it is this modular nature that, in fact, drives me to want to comment
my code even more. If you are sharing your code or developing in a team, it
can be difficult to drill through many separated methods to understand what
is happening.

I think you can never comment code too much.

Thanks, Tim, for your comments, I was not aware that it had been discussed
before.

Tom.

=> designed for code. If you have logic expressed in dtml that is
=> non-trivial enough to benefit from commenting, then dtml is probably
=> not the best language to express it in.
