I'm working on a project for which Zope seems appropriate. However, an outside consultant for our client claims that the major problem with Zope is that it requires Python, and Python is much less stable than something like Perl. I haven't used Zope or Python enough to have counterarguments
I think you are safe in classifying this statement as FUD. I've been using Python (outside of Zope) for five years. I even had a non-trivial accounting system that my business depended on running in Python. A bad design decision on my part led to some real problems with memory size and CPU use of the resulting program, but Python never crashed no matter how much data I tried to shoehorn into my badly designed system. Python is rock solid. --RDM
