RE: [Zope] How to pronounce "Zope" ?
Like "soap" but with a "z" as in "zoo". It doesn't mean anything. It's a silly acronym for "Z Object Publishing Environment". The real $1m question is: What exactly is Z? -- Alexander Staubo http://www.mop.no/~alex/ "QED?" said Russell. "It's Latin," said Morgan. "It means, 'So there you bastard'." --Robert Rankin, _Nostramadus Ate My Hamster_

Dear Zopistas,
How should "Zope" be pronounced?
Does the word mean something special, is it an American English slang term?

I pronounce it like that (in analogy with 'hope'), but then I heard an American say 'zo-pee' instead and now I don't know anymore. :) Then again, I continue to pronounce 'Python' in the Dutch way (for the snake), while I suspect it's always been called Python (after the flying circus) the English way, even by the Dutch creator. :) Regards, Martijn
