[Zope3-Users] Zope3 as a package

[David Pratt]

Hi Lennart. Thank you for your reply. These queries are general as I am 
  committing to Z3 for this project. The fact that Zope is a bit 
different than a regular python package itself has triggered these 
thoughts. At this point, I don't have anything that doesn't work as I am 
just getting started with this project. As I work through the app and 
attempt to package it, I may have specific issues that I will bring 
forward. I am also interested in the experiences of others that may have 
done something similar and what challenges they may have faced 
(particularly with packaging) if any.

Regards,
David
