All too long an unwieldy... glad to see the -lets have died. Sad to see neither Python Block nor Python Op(eration) seem so be gettign there since they most accurately describe what these things are, IMVHO... cheers, Chris

In the poll currently underway on renaming options for Python Methods, the most popular choice so far is to leave the name as it is. It could just be because people don't see enough benefit in changing what's already there, but I think it may be that people actively feel that the term 'method' captures some technical essence. However, we still have the problem of disambiguating between a method in Zope's eyes and a method in the implementation language. How about calling anything that Zope regards as a method a Zope Method? That would then give us Python Zope Method, Perl Zope Method, DTML Zope Method, SQL Zope Method, etc. Is it too late to add the option for Python Zope Method to the poll?

YES. I agree this makes a _lot_ of sense. It also means in any forms or menu popup boxlist, the most important distinguishing words will be shown first: Python Zope Method Perl Zope Method SQL Zope Method DTML Zope Method Rebol Zope Method Java Zope Method VB Zope Method Custom Zope Mthod etc.. - Jason
