Re: [Zope] Web pages as Object Classes

The idea is to have an "abstract" superclass which
defines the basic structure of the page:
- look and feel (via css for example)
- basic container structure (I get a menu on the left,
  a login status on the right top...)
A very easy example just to get the idea could be:
class MySitePage():
    def render(self):
        self.header()
        self.menu()
        self.login_status()
        self.content()
        self.footer()
From what I've seen PTL is not flexible enough
to implement this approach... am I wrong?
Is it better to look into ZClasses?
You should develop a Python product, and then use zpt for views.

When you understand the connection, it is much stronger than your approach.
