Zope as a whole, no. ZODB, yes. Several people are using it outside of Zope. Also Zope3 has developed some really cool technologies like zope.interfaces and zope.components and zope.i18n that are useable outside of web applications. -- Lennart Regebro, Nuxeo http://www.nuxeo.com/ CPS Content Management http://www.cps-project.org/

We are using Zope for non-Web applications. It works quite well -- apart from the very high startup times, especially under Windows. High startup times forced us, to run Zope as a background service. -- Dieter
