So, I was hanging out on IRC last night, and mentioned Zope to someone who's fairly active in the Python community. I ended up receiving a rant about how "bloated" and slow Zope is...
"Slow" is a relative term. Zope will always be slower than hard-coding an application in Python. For the kind of applications I have, I'm happy to throw a bit more hardware at a server, if I get an improvement in reuse, understandability or maintainability. Maintenance accounts for much more than half the cost of most projects. -- Steve Alexander Software Engineer Cat-Box limited
