[Zope] ZRoundup?

Thanks for the response. The reason for wanting to use
ZRoundup is to have an instance of Zope in use in the
organisation (which is a python shop). I'm
particularly interested in seeing how far it's
possible in Zope to separate the various elements of
web apps in general - zpts have done it largely for
the content side, and I'd like to have the app in
python, with a Zope "front end", which was the model
being shown here. So if I'm developing a python app
for the web, I can put all the functionality in, say,
the App class, and have a ZApp class as front-end
which inherits all the functionality from App by
subclassing, and itself only handles the Zope
interface elements.

The only fly-in-the-ointment I've found to date is
that writing a Zope app with an RDBMS from scratch I'd
probably want to use ZSQLMethods (as the framework
handles them "naturally") and so the python App class
has to know about it's frontend and the elegance goes
away. Or maybe I'm approaching this Zope-with-SQL
problem from the wrong end. What's your experience?

Finally, the answer to your question as to why is:
"learning, while broadening the general python and
python-related base and expertise".
