I modified TAL/PageTemplates to use it without zope in my Report
System, that uses a TAL-Template with some certain xml-data to produce
pdf-files with reportlab (pythonpoint at the moment).

I copied all ExtensionClass/*.so files into my app lib-path
and modified the PageTemplate.py/Expressions.py/... to live
without zope. I modified PathExpressions not to use any security
machinery and traverse only via __getattr__/__getitem__.

this works supprisingly well and I just wanted to ask if somebody
else is interested ??

A Standalone-ExtensionClass would help using it. Any chance that
this will show up ??


I have not yet packaged it as separate module but this would not
take to much effort.

let me know what you think ..
