Aloha, I have also gotten the impression, from mail archives etc. etc., that python is the overall better way to create products. So far I've done one simple Catalog-aware product with ZClasses and am about to try a simple python product. Thanks for the link on auto-updating attributes, etc. - I didn't know that wouldn't happen with python products. The main issue I read/heard about was inefficiencies and implementation issues using ZClasses with Catalogs (which is what I'm doing). I gathered that ZClasses use Catalogs sloppily and/or inefficiently, and there were a couple 'gotchas' and/or kludges in ZClass implementation that I can't recall offhand. I know that the auto-recataloging does not work as described in the ZB and ZDG examples...I have to manually poke the Catalog to catalog a changed attribute value. If anyone has a concise scoop on ZClass weaknesses, please post... :-) John S. --- Peter Bengtsson <mail@peterbe.com> wrote:
As a quick guideline-answer: ZClasses are more convenient for small plugins Python Products are better suited for bigger projects.

Help!
I Have chosen Zope to do a new web app. It is a 2 man project - 1 Programer - 1 UI Designer with programing experience.
I am trying to decide whether to build the App using Zclasses or Python Product. ...
