I am not sure that I understand people's reservations with writing Python
Products for complex situations?, with which you get so many nice development
tools that we are so used to.  Personally I couldn't fathom doing half the
things I want to in Zope without using these, though the security issue is
still one I find awkward.  Is it DCs wish that one day people would not need to
write Python Products?
