could anyone please comment regarding this link: http://www.amk.ca/python/writing/why-not-zope.html
it's an article i read on why not to use zope. i just want to know if the author's rants are justified.
I disagree that it is a rant - AMK gave Zope fair consideration, he carefully explains why it wasn't good for his purposes, and then even goes as far as pointing out the sort of websites that it would be good for. If you call that a rant, please point me to a piece you'd call a balanced critique. Having said that, and being in the same situation, I must say I agree 100% with every single point he makes. In fact, that's why I am currently looking for a way to put business code in a separate server process and let the Zope server talk XML-RPC to that. Zope at the moment is absolutely not suited for complex web application development, and it is absolutely great to build dynamic websites. Summary: Zope's a good tool, don't use it for the wrong job.
