I am wondering if it is within the realm of possibility that the Zope project might eventually support operation as a Java program (under JPytho <snip> So here's hoping we'll one day see Z-over-P-over-J.

I am not the expert about this, but: Zope is written entirely in Python, except for a few 'kernel' like components written in C. If you translate these components into Java, you might just have something there. I'm not a Java guy so I have no real idea.

Yeah. I know it would have to be slower.

From what Ken was telling me JPython is actually quite well designed and speedy, even for a Java program. :) If you've commited yourself to Java then I assume you've allready resigned yourself to the performance penalty and are considering it in your engineering goals. Performance may not be your primary goal in the first place.

Zope looks cool.

Oh it is.
