[Zope-dev] Zope3 on Google AppEngine

[Kapil Thangavelu]

perhaps too late to help with the sprints, but i got zope3 running on
app engine last week http://zope3.appspot.com and
http://zope3.appspot.com/tests, and blogged about to
http://blog.kapilt.com

most of zope.app isn't useable due to persistence or containment and
security proxies, but page templates and the publisher work. some
fairly minor but pervasive changes (removing some deprecations/bbb
code) were needed, and to have space (1000 file limit) to actually
develop an application requires stripping the eggs of text and tests.
i ended up using the publisher support in zope.publisher (3.5.1+)
instead of ore.wsgiapp or lovely.nozodb as it presents a much more
minimal dependency set.

i'd like to see if i can get some form machinery going underneat the
1000 file limit, and publish a starter tarball for folks interested.

i'm uncertain long term what's viable, as their were a number of
changes needed, and how best to maintain them. if their suitable for
upstream into the zope repository, or just done again for separate
releases as gae variant of z3.

cheers,

kapil
