*grinz* You never heard of a PUT_factory? You can (and I do) do this in Zope 2
already.
Think about it, how does Windoze know the difference between a Photoshop file
and a Windows Bitmap?
Zope 2 is even clever than this, I have logic that says if the first character
in a thing is a # then create a PythonScript from it...

As for EMACS, it certainly knows about python (M-x python-mode), and there's
HTML mode for page templates. If you wanna use DTML, you deserve to burn in hell
anyway, so you ain't gonna need an editor ;-)
