i have to say that <aol>i agree too.</aol> i had a discussion some days
ago with some co-workers using zope about the "why they did put in dtml
instead of using plain python?" some people expressed the desire to have
access to full python in zope, others said that learning dtml is easier
and faster than learning a full programming language. 

so the question is: do you developers think that adding python support
(maybe into a dtml tag, as a product) is feasible?

ciao,
