[Zope] Tools used for programming Zope

[Gerald Gutierrez]

Hello all.

Thanks to those who gave me feedback in terms of what tools they use to do 
Zope work. What I've gathered is that, while it is possible to do "remote 
editing" of certain objects like DTML and SQL methods, many Zope objects 
cannot be edited this way and must be done over the web.

I need to have source code readable on the filesystem independent of a Zope 
server, so that I can do things like CVS them, use any editor on them, grep 
them, etc. It seems that my only choice is to write products in Python 
itself, instead of using the web interface of Zope, which is one of the 
cool features of Zope.

This is unfortunate. If only Zope supports a "filesystem-natural" mapping 
for its entire object model, this would be very cool indeed.


Thanks.

Gerald.
