Dear Reader

My company is considering Zope for all new web-applications. So far PHP has been our language of choice, but a switch to Zope seems to imply a switch to Python.

I must stress that CMS is *not* our main focus.

Our first application would be an Network / Inventory program with SNMP support an small clients updating the DB with information about installed software and the like.

We could choose Smarty templates/PHP4/Some db abstraction layer/Some DB, but I would personally choose Zope. Can you help me argument my case?
