I am wondering if it is within the realm of possibility that the Zope project might eventually support operation as a Java program (under JPython) in addition to operation under traditional Python. I know it would probably be a large undertaking and that there may well be better places to spend precious energy, but I thought I'd register my interest in the prospect.
Zope relies on a lot of code in C as well as Python, so I doubt you'll see Zope on JPython anytime soon. However, ZPublisher (Zope's ORB) could be made to work with JPython without too much trouble. In fact a while ago I tried this and succeeded, though it was quite slow. The main issue is that ZPublisher uses 'regex' while JPython uses 're'. -Amos
