A long time ago we said that we'd offer Zope components separately, now we're finally getting around to fulfilling this promise. http://www.zope.org/Download/Components Right now we have ZPublisher available, and I'll probably get ZTemplates up there pretty soon. The reason for these component releases is to make life easier on people who are interested in some Zope components but don't want to bother to download the entire Zope release. The ZPublisher component includes everything you need to publish Python objects on the web including: ZPublisher -- This package includes the Zope ORB, Zope Debugger, and Zope RPC client. This package allows you to publish objects with Zope. PCGI -- This optional component provides publishing services and long running process support to the Zope ORB that work with any web server that supports CGI. ZopeHTTPServer -- This optional package is a simple web server which can publish a module with Zope. CGI -- This optional component includes a simple Zope CGI publisher which allows you to publish objects using a CGI script. The only thing new is the CGI publisher which is the long awaited cgi-module-publisher replacement. It's pretty simple and it doesn't use symbolic links. I'm calling this release 3.0.0b1 because I am taking up numbering where Bobo releases left off. Enjoy. -Amos P.S. A long time ago some people including Jeff Bauer and myself talked about writing some kind of Zope publisher installer that might allow guided setup of module publishing. I have some code for such a beast if anyone is still interested in this project. -- Amos Latteier mailto:amos@digicool.com Digital Creations http://www.digicool.com
